New symptom--armpit pain...please advise - Lymphomas Message Board

singer78 · 05-27-2007, 11:16 PM

Hello...it's me.
If you've been following my posts, you know my predicament with "Hodgkin's." I now am experiencing armpit pain---actually I got out of bed to type this. I thought I was tired...but, started feeling around my surgery incision, and started experiencing quite a bit of 'shooting-type' pains in the armpit.
I realize I had it months ago, but it's much worse. I'm assuming it's connected to the growing node my ENT left behind....there were 2. He only took one for the biopsy. I'm hoping with the start of chemo, it will shrink this one, as I believe it's the "primary" tumor (above the collarbone) & seems to be gaining "speed." Did any of you experience armpit pain? It's making it difficult to sleep. I think I went too long without a Tylenol tonight---over 6 hours and that's a record, since my surgery 2 weeks ago.
I thought I'd start a new thread, as the old one was getting long---
Stay with me, girls.....I need you. This is difficult.
Thanks. S.

Hi...
I suppose our symptoms were/are different, and maybe my node is pressing on a nerve---that's why the shouder pain, I guess.
I won't be "right" until I start treatment and realize what I'm up against.
This week will bring me more answers. You've told me earlier, every little pain and discomfort will make me panicky. I'm trying to hold it together---quite loosely, for the moment. I'm going back to bed & hopefully, have some nice dreams. That's my 'escape' for now....

Rubbish.....NEVER!

Have a good sleep!

I know that I'm repeating myself but this part REALLY sucks. Once you know what's what you'll sleep like a babby

Ails!!

Have you had a good old fiddle, that sounds really rude!!! (you bad girl lol).

Hi Singer, I am soooo glad that we have started again, thanks hon!!

I suffer with armpit pain, and I did put out a post on it, not much feed-back though, mine feels as if someone is pushing me really hard, really painful, does that sound similar?

Regards to your question, yep I am in limbo

around not getting any where, feeling totally helpless. My itching is still there mostly at night on my legs and feet, and I have been getting pain that's increasingly getting worse in my right hip region, and my groin area, what does this mean

I start the bidding at ? If any one can guess correctly I'll give them a big wet kiss!!! Don't you think that's worth it girls?.

I remember now Ails Ross and Rachel singing Emma to sleep, I had forgotten that, my interpretation was much better though I felt!! (lol).

What do your nice dreams involve singer, hunky men?, I could do with some of those dreams!!

We'll stay with you girl, and you with us, as I am sure we all need the shoulder to lean on.

Much love and bestest wishes your friend Susie xx
