A member asked:

Swollen and itching nodules in my rt armpit for over a month/hand goes numb while sleeping. have appt. w/ breast specialist. should i call pcp also?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call PCP for appt.: As a PCP, I feel as if I am better suited to treat this. It is not clear to me that this is a breast issue and may be a waste of time to see the other doctor. I would see the PCP, especially if you can get in sooner. Good luck!
