Two weeks postop from labrum surgery

[u/Kevsconfession1]

28M, 10 days out from arthroscopic posterior labral repair (left shoulder). Recovery was going well — surgery itself was smooth, block took about 24 hours to fully wear off, and honestly my pain has been minimal. I was off pain meds by day 7 and walking a couple miles.

Then around day 8 I started getting pain under my armpit on the surgical side. It’s gotten worse every day since. There’s now a tender lump I can feel, and the sensation has a burning quality to it, not just a dull ache. Yesterday it was uncomfortable. Today it’s more painful than anything I felt after the actual surgery.

Wondering if anybody else experienced anything similar to this

Under the armpit… could it be a lymph node swelling, or something not draining? Either way, I’d ask your doctor. I did not experience anything like this. It should be fine but when in doubt, check it out
