Hi Ladies:

How is everyone. Well I've got another off the wall question. I've notice on and off over the last 8 months, the week before my period I occationally get these boil feeling lumps in my underarms. They feel like swollen glands and can't even be touched, make shaving a fun escapade. They feel like a boil, the only thing is nothing ever comes out of them and they go away. Its odd. I'm curious if anyone else experiences this. I have one other question, I know that alot of us have breast tenderness and soreness before our periods, but this month my nipples can't even be touched. The breast have no pain at all, just the nipples. Anyone have any ansers on this one? Thank for any suggestions.

Hugs, Patty

Have a look online at Fibrocystic. These cysts can enlarge during menstruation, and the breast tissue does run up into the armpit. I would still have this checked out with your doctor, but maybe this will give you a bit of comfort until you do.

those would be cysts, they are very common in the time right before a period is due.
