Brief Answer:
TAKE AN ANTACID AND PAINKILLER AND THEN SEE.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
THanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Can you post photos of the ' lumps ' ?
That might give a better idea.
Ask her to take a simple antacid, and a muscle relaxant.
If the pain is not relieved within an hour , yes, go to the ER.
It could be boils in the axillary region causing such pain.
All the best
