Pain and leakage from the breasts could be
due to the end of the pregnancy but I'm
not sure about possible causes for the
lumps you're experiencing under the arm.
You'll need a physical examination
(inspection and palpation) to identify and
diagnose the lumps. If they are under the
skin, they could be lymph nodes and then
could be related to an occurrence in the
breasts. That “something” can be
revealed only with a physical examination
(inspection and palpation) and an
ultrasound. If these diagnostic procedures
indicate something new, then further
diagnostic steps will include a
mammography and fine needle biopsy, if
necessary.
