A member asked:
I seem to have a swollen / sore lymph node under my left armpit. what could be the possible cause? do i need to see my physician?

Yes, you should: If you feel a lump in your armpit, it could be a lymph node which is enlarged. So if you can feel any ball like structure you must confirm it by letting your doctor examine you and do further testing like an ultrasound in order to confirm it or exclude it.

Yes: It is really difficult to give specific advise but I always believe it is better to be safe. I would have a physician exam the area.
