What Is The Cause For Lumps Across The Body?

I am a healthy 56 year old woman, but about 3-5 months ago, I noticed lumps under my arm, in the armpit area, they were not sore, but since have changed in size and shape, they also are sore all the time now, I also have noticed, more in my right breast, and up above the breast, kind of toward the armpit, and collar bone, in my rib cage area both below my right breast and in the back, a bulge between the ribs. My mom died from IBD, my aunt her sister, had a mastectomy, and my two uncles died from bone, and multiple myloma( not sure of all the medical spelling, but if you pronounce them as I spelled them, hope it is helpful) I am scared to go to get them checked out, as all my family died very soon after being diagnosed. I am now bruising easily, having difficulty swallowing, I have a lump in the middle of the front of my throat, not painful, but it too seems to be spreading. and now I am getting nauseated and having really bad, like cramps in my calves. Can you please tell me what to do, or what it sounds like please.

Hi, your TLC/DC of blood is important in this case! However, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of generalised body lumps, I would come up with two possibilities, these include:
1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
