Are you experiencing a heavy arm and pain near your breast area? These symptoms can be connected to lymphoma in a few ways, and it's really important to let your care team know about them as soon as possible.
Swollen lymph nodes under the arm can grow large enough to press on surrounding tissues and nerves, which may cause pain and a feeling of heaviness. A MyLymphomaTeam member shared, "For the last few months, I feel pain under my arms. It comes and goes." Pain near the breast area could also be related to lymphoma affecting nearby lymph nodes or, in rarer cases, lymphoma that has spread to surrounding tissue.
Some things to watch for and report to your doctor include:
- A lump or swelling that feels smooth, round, or rubbery
- Pain that worsens over time or at night
- Any new or changing symptoms in the area
Please don't wait on this one — reach out to your lymphoma care team right away so they can properly evaluate what's going on and recommend the best next steps for you.
