Is There Any Correlation Between A Lump On The Back And Burning Sensation Between The Breasts?
I have a lump on my back that a doctor friend said is likely a lipoma. I am a healthy 43 year old of average weight. I notice that I notice ge it’s there more if there is inflammation in my body. I run and suspect it’s causing me to have trouble breathing. I also have a deep burning between breast and armpit directly in front of where the lump is. Can the burning be related? Should I see an internist or general surgeon to have it diagnosed? I’d like the quickest route. Thank you!

Hi.
Noted the history of a lump that you Doctor friend suggested it to be a lipoma behind the arm pit and also having burning sensation deep within between the breasts.
Lipomas are usually painless an do not cause any symptoms as these develop over years and do not cause any local problems unless they are within the muscles or on joints or on pressure points in body.
Since your swelling which is not yet well diagnosed can cause nerve stretching and thus cause burning sensation on the same side armpit and between breasts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Consult a General Surgeon to get a proper clinical diagnosis and get this confirmed by Ultrasonography and FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.
Get the lump removed as you get rid of a thing that is not normal to the body and get a confirmed diagnosis by histopathology of the whole lump.
There can be other reasons for burning sensation between the breasts like GERD, local skin problems and so on that yoru Surgeon will evaluated and investigate as needed to get a proper management.
