Tender spot with shooting burning pains

JoyMrt5

For the past few weeks I've had this spot under my left arm sort of on my side that has been tender to the touch. I had a 3 month f/u appointment on 12/3 and told my dr about it. She felt of it and thinks it could be either scar tissue or cording from where they removed 3 nodes during my DMX in May 2018 and suggested I let an occupational therapist evaluate it so if it's scar tissue or cording they can treat it. I decided to wait until after the holidays to see the therapist. Fast forward to the past week and I've had shooting burning sporadic pain there. Should I be concerned? I have an appointment with OT on Tuesday 12/31 but wanted to see what you all have to say about it

Thanks in advance!!

I had similar issue and it was secondary to cording. Once cording resolved, pain also went away. Since you doc has checked it, I would not be too concerned that it’s anything too significant.

Joy - do check that your OT/PT is a trained lymphadema tech. Here's a link which may be helpful.
