Have you experienced swollen lymph nodes with cording under your arms?

Swollen lymph nodes under the arms are a common symptom for people with lupus. A MyLupusTeam member shared, "My lymph nodes under my arms and groin area are so swollen and painful... It's been going on for eight months."

This swelling happens because lupus causes your immune system to go into overdrive, triggering inflammation throughout your body. Your lymph nodes can swell when your body thinks it's dealing with a threat, even though there isn't an actual infection.

Swollen lymph nodes in the underarm area are often a sign that lupus is flaring up. They may feel like hard, tender lumps or bumps.

If you're experiencing this symptom, especially if it's persistent or painful, it's important to talk with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if it's related to a lupus flare or another underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment options like warm compresses, corticosteroids, or adjustments to your current medications.
