A member asked:
For the last week i've had a pain in my left armpit. now it's severe pain. i can barely move without it hurting so bad. could it be lymph nodes?

Yes possible: It is a possibility that these are lymph nodes but if its so painful that you can't lift your arm there could even be an underlying abscess developing or more rarely a clot in the aviary veins. Please see your doctor to get an examination

Yes: Yes, it could be from lymph nodes, but could also be from swollen breast tissue, infection, or shoulder joint problems. An exam would be useful for you
