    Swollen lymph node
    I have a swollen lymph node just below the crease in my left armpit. Discomfort when my arm is at rest and painful to the touch. The pain is 3 on a 10 scale.

    Lymph nodes are sort of our front line of defence signalling a minor infection in our system. Could be a flu, cold, etc. See your doctor for a check up.
