lump under arm
 

right in the center of my arm pit, just realised it, and it hurts like hell.

probably a swollen gland or something, but god dman it hurts!

See a goddamn doctor.

i will if it carrys on giving it the big'un!

Go see a doctor right away. Those glands are what doctors look at to see if you have cancer. Even if it turns out to be nothing you should be as proactive as possible.

argh good point!
cheers

Definitely go to the Doc.
A lump under the arm can be nothing other than an irritated hair follicle, or it can be something as serious as an early sign of cancer...either way, better safe than sorry.

yep, following on from what others have said, doctor .... now

i always get felt under the arms to check for anything when its bad, so don't leave it to go away

ill sort it tomorrow :)
thanks for the advice, wasnt thinknig it was anything too serious, i always hear of people with serious lumps that they are mostly painless, but still nothing a trip to the doc cant sort ;)

yeah i would for sure go see someone about that, probably nothing but be sure first

If you're a woman - you have cancer. IF you're a man, and you shave your pits, then you're gay.

If you're a woman with no breasts, then it could be a lymph infection or a cyst.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
nothing to worry about.

lol, havent shaved but trimmed. . . can you get tablets to cure being gay? :P

sounds like a swollen lymphnode, which is a sign of infection. probably ingrown hair or something of the like

Yep you can. I eat hundreds of them every day. :(

Our very own GFY Doctor... :pimp

sometimes lumps of fat roll around under your skin ... probably no big deal

I would have been at the doctor before I was on gfy.
Shit like that scares the piss out of me. Hope your alright, man.

cheers, not too worried, im not the type too worry! Can't do anything until I know whats what and even then i cant worry cause i just have to deal with what i got.

I guess i live for "the moment" ;)

im a 22 year old male so the chances of it being anything serious are low but still, theres always that chance!

just irritated at the moment from the pain !!

Very true


My mother in-law in 07 had a lump under her armpit and went the same day to the doctor as it hurt a lot. He sends her to the specialist and after 4 hours she was already getting it cut out at Shands hospital. It was cancer and her good sense to go to the doctor right away, stopped the cancer from spreading and most probably killing her.
Dont fuck around with shit like that. Go right away to the doctor.

100% true story.

Many years ago, the manchild's father and I were seperated, but not divorced yet. He casually mentioned a knot under his arm that hurt sometimes. I didn't think much about it.

Months later, while he was picking up the boy, he mentioned it again, and showed me. It was about the size of a freakin' grapefruit.

He's one of those stubborn sorts that won't go to a doctor if he is dying. I threw a fit about him having a kid if he didn't care about himself, etc, etc.

He was 22 at the time, and it turned out he had Hodgkin's. He's still kicking, but he went through some seriously bad times with chemo/radiation.

Go get it checked. :)

cheers, booking an appointment tomorrow, see how it goes!
