Suggest Treatment For Lymph Node Swelling In The Armpit
I have had right arm pit lymph node swollen for about 8 weeks. Had biopsy and found infection around outside of the lymph node. Biopsy came bake negative but still unclear why the infection cured in the first place. Now also had c 3,4,5,6 fused due to injury. Last persedure June 2016. Any suggestion on infection and do you think the spinal surgery in June and infection are related .. Migraines as well. ?? Desperate. Thanks. Bill
