HI,Dear, Thanks for the query from you for your painful bb size armit lumps in both the armpits for 1 wks time,which was existing for few yrs painlessly.1-I feel concerned that you are serious to know why the 2 armpit lumps are painful over last 1 wk or so?2-In my opinion this tender bilateral armpit lumps are the fibroadenosis and the pains since last 1 wk,is most probably a starting cyclical pain,which were not there for few yrs of these lumps.3-As such these armpit lumps are fibrocystic -mastodynia cancers as such,but need suprevision for suspicious cancerous developments in these lumps in few cases.4-I would advise you not to worry as its a cyclical change with the fibrocystic change and needs follow up and is a benign tumour as such-due to hormonal imbalance during the cyclical changes.5-Hope this would solve your worry of the bilateral armpit painful lumps.6-Wellcome to HCM for any more query.
