I am 35 year old mother of three who recently had a hysterectomy. I have had pain in my right underarm that comes and goes. I feel alot of swelling and often find it difficlut to put my arm down completely. Last night, I felt a small lump (pea size) in my arm pit. What could be causing this?

 There are some lymph nodes in the arm pit area that can become inflamed and swollen during an infection (commonly a viral infection). If your symptoms persist I would recommend that you see your doctor to have a physical exam.
Rarely, there are some other possible causes that should be investigated if you are not getting better.
Best wishes.
