That sounds grand! Its been way too long since I have had a facial or massage

I'm meaning wrap the washcloth and the armpit and shoulder to hold the steam and warmth in longer...

the bold part makes me wonder about acne inversa....

Hmmm, just googled it....the only thing is that they never come to the surface and pop or anything like that.....

havent had any for a while now so fingers crossed its sorted itself out!

mine came up after botox into spasming muscles close by. don't know if that's relevant for you?

Armpits are a common location for trigger points.

i just have to bump this

i am experiencing the EXACT same thing on my atrophied/winged side. my arm pit feels FAT. i suppose there are trigger points in there but im having a hard time distinguishing them from a lymph node. also its just overall tenderness and fatness that doesnt exist anywhere else.


i asked my pt if it was my pec minor and he said it was my serratus and lats i think??? which is interesting. i assumed pec minor.

Sounds like lymph, body wraps can be very effect, or just a daily dry brush, always towards the heart. Either do a self body wrap, or if you go to a spa, make sure they actually wrap the area, most spa wrap are for weight loss, and usually the armpit isn't thought of as fat .

Yoga is fantastic for lymph, make sure to do any modifications for your tos (bent elbows for example) in yoga back off on any posture that triggers symptoms. Hot yoga is really great for lymph and nerve glides. I love hot locust pose, and eagle is great if you squeeze all your joints into the body... The idea being you squeeze into the joints, constrict the blood flow and then release for fresh blood flow (different than vascular constriction in tos, nonetheless)

Lymph nodes can fill up for a number of reasons, allergies, colds, soft tissue injury, scratches in the skin, food allergies. It's the main blood cleansing system and that's why it's also so prone to dis-ease. Good luck.
