My lump was in my armpit where the SLNB was performed it was a "seroma" I went back to the breast surgeon and had it drained. It's pretty painless and almost instant relief. It did grow back and went back a 2nd time and drained it again. Maybe that's what you have? Finally when it felt like it was coming back I used a heating pad and voltaren gel on it. There is no lump now or swelling but that armpit area still feels really weird .

Thank you for your response!! Hopefully that is what mine is too.
Did your lump hurt at all? And did it feel rubbery like?
Mine is sensitive but doesn’t really hurt. The area almost feels numb. I can literally see it raised up. I am going to call my surgeon in the morning and go from there.
