i’ ve had this lump in my right armpit for 2 weeks now, its gotten bigger, and its painful,?

Q: its not aboil bc theres no head, i think its a lymph node, could it possibly be breast tissue.. the pain is soo horrible i can barely put my right arm all the way down. when i put a warm cloth on it gets alittle better, but during the day, my elbow aches and my fingers get signs like carpel tunnel syndrome, im only 23!! does anyone know what this is or have had something like this before??

A: Go to the doctors. You may have an infected lymph node. This is not something to mess with, you can end up with an infection in your entire system. You may have started the problem with a tiny cut under your arm when you were shaving, or it may be some other type of infection that entered your body and settled in that gland. Your body is trying to fight the infection, but you should not have let the pain go until you find it painful to lower your arm. You can have a boil-like abscess under the skin, which would not have a head, and will most likely need to be drained by a doctor to take down the swelling. I had an allergic reaction to spray deodorant when I was a teenager, ended up with several swollen and sore areas under my arm, in my armpit because of it. I had to be put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and have to be careful of antiperspirant/deodorant ingredients to this day. Please go to the doctors as soon as possible. Best of luck to you.

Could popping my knuckles contribute to arthritis in the future?

Q: I have always popped my knuckles for as long as I can remember. I do it often mabey every 10 or 15 minutes or so. People always tell meI need to break this habit because it could give me join pain when I get older. But I mostly do it without even thinking about it especially when I use my hands a lot. Recently I’ve noticed that my finger joints feel weaker sometimes a little sore especially after playing piano or typing for long periods of time. Could it be from popping my fingers or simply from typing too much or a combination of the two? Also what are some signs of carpel tunnel syndrome?

A: ya it can give you arthiritis in the future and make your fingers fat. my mom is always on me about cracking my nuckles. and the weakness can difinatley be related to the cracking or popping. symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome: The most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain felt in the fingers or, less commonly, in the palm. Symptoms most often occur in the parts of the hand supplied by the median nerve: the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. If your little finger is not affected, this may be a sign that the condition is carpal tunnel syndrome, because the little finger is usually controlled by a different nerve than the thumb and other fingers. Mild: Numbness or pain in your hand, forearm, or wrist that awakens you at night. Occasional tingling, numbness, “pins-and-needles” sensation, or pain. The feeling is similar to your hand “falling asleep.” Numbness or pain that gets worse while you are using your hand or wrist, especially when gripping an object with your hand or bending your wrist. Occasional aching pain in your forearm between your elbow and wrist. Stiffness in your fingers when you get up in the morning. Moderte/Severe: Do simple hand movements, such as brushing your hair or holding a fork. You may accidentally drop objects. Pinch an object between your thumb and first finger (loss of pinch strength). Use your thumb while doing simple tasks such as opening a jar or using a screwdriver. With long-lasting carpal tunnel syndrome, the thumb muscles can get smaller and weaker (atrophy). Not all pain in the wrist or hand is caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. There are many other conditions with similar symptoms.sorry i know this is alot of information. but i hope it helps!! check out my page and questions too please! thanks!!
