Oh and...


Ive had it ona nd off for a while, usually just comes and goes at its own pace, ive been taking antibiotics and putting cream on ot but ive never had it this bad!
Your lymph nodes are in your armpits, they are part of the lymph system that distributes your lymphocytes (white blood cells) so it could well be an infection or similar. Deffo worth seeing a doctor about though - no need to worry unless your doctor tells you to!

The lymph nodes are the reason why it hurts so much when you get jabbed in the armpit by someone (a reason why the police/prison wardens use it to stun people not playing ball)

Cheers,

Last time i saw the doc he said if it comes back then we will book an appointment with a surgeon but last time it wasnt this big!
