Have A Lump Under The Arm, Went Away With Antibiotics. Now Having A Tingling Sensation, Shaking Hands. Treatment?
Hi, a few months ago I had a lump under my right armpit, which went away with antibiotics. Since then, I sometimes get a slight pain or tingling sensation under each armpit.
Sometimes I feel really tired and recently I can feel the same tingling sensation through my body, the only way I can describe it is the same feeling you get when nervous about something. In the last few days my hands have started shaking slightly.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Presence of pain and tingling sensation in both armpits and tremors in the hands suggest involvement of nerves.
A complete examination of the peripheral nervous system is required.
It can occur due to nerve compression, nerve involvement in vitamin B 12 deficiency, increased sympathetic activity.
You need to consult a neurologist for this problem.
Thanks and take care
