Duration of pain

The duration of the complaints depends on the basic problem. In the case of diseases of the locomotor system, but also after infections with painfully swollen lymph nodes, the complaints usually subside after successful treatment. Malignant diseases often have to be treated over a long period of time, so that the complaints under the armpits can subside or persist, which varies greatly from individual to individual. In the case of diseases of the muscles, joints and bones, pain can also become chronic and cause recurring complaints despite treatment.
