What Is The Tightness And Cording Under My Arm?

I have a cording which is possibly a lymph gland issue under my rt arm. It was slightly uncomfortable but is only slightly tight now. I m extremely concerned. I ve not had any infections, I have no palpable lumps in my breast. I m having a mamo next week. Should I be concerned because I AM.

Hi.
The commonest cause of the feeling you are getting like a lymph node in the axilla (armpit) must be diagnosed by FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology or a formal biopsy for the perfect and the fastest diagnosis.
Mammography and all other tests will be helpful but will be losing your precious time.
Request your Surgeon for the definitive diagnostic procedures.
