question: my son has a hard vein under his arm going down to his ribcage and is very very painful.He has had xrays but the dr. just said it must be scar tissue.It is very swollen and they gave him no antibiotics. He has no luck and im sure we have a law suit on how he has been treated,not just this time but several other occasions and they still give him a run around.He is twenty five and they are taking advantage of him and very disrespectful to me. Im very worried it might be his spleen,he finnally got a good job and cannot afoord to loose it thru our hardship.....thank u you
