Patient: I have several things going on. The two worst and most obvious symptoms is slightly swollen  lymph nodes under arm pits accompanied by pain, and pain down both armpits to about mid torso and lower back pain. The pain is becoming more frequent and intense. There seem to be no lumps in my breast and within the year i have had extensive lab work done, in which i was told that my lab work looked remarkable. What can this be Doctor: Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you have enlargement of lymph nodes in your axilla. You are also having backache. You have got much blood work done but you found nothing. In my opinion you can get your lymph node biopsy done to reach at conclusion. You can also MRI of spine done to see cause of backache. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin D3 supplements will be required to strengthen your back if it is low. You can discuss your doctor about it.
