A member asked:

I have painful swelling evenly across my left armpit that started 8 days ago. my pcp didnt feel any swollen nodes or lumps so i am getting ultrasound. any ideas for causes? only thought is i had a backpack on that had tight straps across that area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast tissue will be exposed to the straps of a backpack, and may be irritated by muscular activity during hiking. Ultrasound is fine, but is probably not going to provide an answer. See your physician for an exam, and get the U/S after that.
