Should I Be Worried Of Lumps Under Arm That Is Paining And Swelling?
I have had a few lumps under my arm that would swell up and hurt but go away as time goes on , now I have noticed I have what seems to be like a hard vein that I can feel from my armpits going down towards my elbow and it has a mild pain when touched or pressed , is it something I should worry about?

Those hard lumps are nothing but the lymph nodes.These are warning signs that ther could be some other infection in your body above the umbilicus upto your neck region.So better check for something like that.Also it could indicate tuberculosis sometimes.So if You have continous cough or evening rise of temperature it is better to get an xray chest done.
