      For those of you who've found a lump in your groin, did it just appear over night or did it start out with pain and tenderness?  My stage 1 was found on my upper left arm last year. Clear margins all good supposedly but yesterday morning I woke up with a soreness and tenderness right at the top of my pantyline. Not low in the groin but at the top on the same side where the melanoma was. Just wondering. Thanks

          A primary on the arm would not drain to groin, it would drain to armpit lymph nodes. Never felt pain or soreness with positive lymph node.
