CBC & ESR: CBC with differential, and ESR or CRP, all will help to determine a general level of inflammation in your system. I am assuming your PCP could not feel anything on exam

Axillary discomfort: It is noteworthy that there are no visible abnormalities or palpable lumps. Have you had a breast examination? If axillary discomfort persists, I recommend that you have a very careful examination by a general surgeon as sometimes axillary masses are difficult to Palpate. After this assessment, including the breast exam, further testing such as ultrasound or cat scan may be recommended.?muscular
