Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have swelling and pain like burning knife stabbing under my left arm. I had a mammogram and ultra sound which found no abnormalities. I now have pain in another area under the same arm. Now closer to my arm than breast like before. ? Do I need biopsy?
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you probably have enlargement of lymph nodes of left axilla. You think correctly that biopsy is a good idea. Biopsy of lymph nodes will give you idea of the disease and will relieve your worries. Till then you can take analgesic for pain relief. Antibiotics can be used to reduce the infection. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
