I know they are under my arm....

but are they in my armpit or more on the edge of my breast....

It is sore in that spot on both sides mostly just if I push on it or bra pushes on it.

I tried to find a diagram on the internet but couldn't find one that showed me.

thank You [Smile]

The lymphatic system is part of your immune system. It's not uncommon to have flareups where various ones hurt. Or chronically tender ones.

Hi Azure Wish,

I had pains in and around the breasts and think that this was my lymphatic system

I also had a cyst present itself at that time- fluid- think it's also lyme related.

I seem to remember that there were some good theads about breast pain about a year ago...

hope- sarah
