Lump in armpit

Hello,

I’m a week away from my period and experiencing breast pain but also aching armpits (on the right side) there is a lump but it’s very fleshy and moves around. I have health anxiety so tend to go down a dark spiral about matters like this. Does anyone else experience aches like this before a period?

Ps: I will of course get it checked if it doesnt go.

Agree on it’s likely a lymph node. I get swollen ones sometimes randomly. My doctor has me wait 2 weeks to see if it changes size (if it’s a lymph node it’ll go down generally in 2 weeks *if you don’t poke at it constantly*)And then if it doesn’t I get a CBC done to just make sure all is good. So my advice give it two weeks; leave it alone. And if it gets bigger or doesn’t go away go in. If it gets smaller it’s a lymph node.

It’s most likely a lymph node. I have one that’s been noticeable for a while now and it tends to get larger if I’m sick or near my period and almost goes away otherwise. Lymph nodes can shrink and grow depending on if your body is fighting an infection or hormonal change like a period coming. Usually nothing to worry about !
