Just to begin I do suffer with health anxiety. I have today realised that I have a pain in my left armpit and I’m concern regarding breast cancer. I have no other symptoms other than the pain in my armpit and check my breasts regularly. The pain itself a feels like a bruise and it’s sore to touch. There is no lump. Just as some background info I am 23, I don’t smoke, and have no family history of any cancers apart from my grandad who died fro lung cancer (he was a chain smoker most of his life).
Advise would be appreciated

🙂 Any pain, swelling or lump near the breast can cause anxiety, these can be caused by a number of reasons, but for peace of mind it is best to have a medical opinion. If this persists for a week make an appointment with your GP. One of the main reasons for painful swelling..
When a person has an infection or injury, the lymph nodes may swell as they start to filter unwanted cells from the lymph.
Lymph is a watery fluid that carries oxygen to the cells and transports waste products away from them. It also contains white blood cells, which help fight infections.
As the lymph nodes begin to work harder to remove waste, they can enlarge. This enlargement is more common in certain areas of the body, including the neck, armpit, and groin.
A swollen lymph node may be visibly enlarged, painful, and tender to the touch.
