What causes the underarm burning pain?

I used to get it in my groin area, funny it it so close to where the lymph glands are. I don't have lumps, jsut burning! Is it fibromyalgia? Is it because the white blood cells are working really hard? Is it because the immune sysstem is fighting it? I'm also having stiff neck. My doc took me off abx for a couple of weeks for stomach issues. Can't wait to go back on it.

I am afraid the pathogens are spreading. They live in the white blood cells? My wbc is normal (6 or 7). CD 57 is 192. What is the pain in the armpits?? Anyone else have it and what are your other symptoms; blood values?

I get terrible pain in my underarm area. Hurt to put deodorant on. I switched to natural deod. And ive noticed the pain is less frequent and less severe. I think it is absolutely lymphs.

I want to go for lymphatic massage to see if that helps.

All the pain you describe sounds like lymph nodes to me.

I get crazy burning issues as well. In the breast area and in my back primarily. It feels like I have hot lava flowing through my veins. Sucks.

I used to get these crazy burning pains on my chest like someone was holding a match to my skin, ,really awful. I read about what that was but can't remember now. Something nerve related I think.

Jumping on a mini trampoline for a few minutes a day is excellent for moving fluid through the lymphatic system.

Good luck to you.

OHHH what a great idea cmal!!!! THANKS for the tip!

Yes. My LLMD recommended "upper body exercise", since a lot of my pain is in the ligaments that attach the ribs to the sternum. She said lots of lymies get that. I first thought it was heart attack! Raising the arms up and down like one would in a trampoline would be similar. Wish I had a trampoline! Maybe push ups and pull ups... whoa.... haven't done that for a while. I think maybe you are too young to remember monkey bars. That would be good too, but don't think I could do that at age 55. Thanks for the suggestions.

My LLND told me to use a mini trampoline as well and said it is good. I don't have one though..lol

Since I don't have a mini trampoline I do jumping jacks and it has helped. I haven't had the underarm pain but have had the burning sensation on the back.
