Underarm pain

Hi all

I haven’t posted on here for a while, I thought I would try and manage without and try and get on with my life a little.

Anyway, Had mastectomy in Jan 07 followed by chemo and now zoladex.
But for the past week or so I am having a lot of pain in my right armpit.
I had an ultrasound scan on my right breast 2 weeks ago as I felt something that didn’t feel right. However that was clear.

I have had a cold and dreadful cough for about a month, so could it be something to do with my glands being up?

Or am I being paranoid???

Has anyone else experienced something similar on the other side?

Take care

Hi there, I too have underarm pain and numbness in the top of my arm and into my shoulder blade area, but have had pain in my joints since beong on Arimidex , so I wonder if they are connected. I had my op last may , but the numbness seems to be getting worse. . My G>P has had x rays done of lungs, arm etc but all clear , so just as a precaution is sending me for a bone scan, May be worth having a word with your g.p or b.c. nurse for reasurance I fnd the not knowing quite worrying. too , and start imagining I can feel swellings. Hope it improves for you

Best wishes
