I did have a prophylactic mastectomy 2 1/2 yrs. ago on the right side.  Got my implants for both sides at that time.  No fever, that's why the doc was so concerned and no recent illness nor carrying anything. 

There are two painful, tender spots axillary lymph nodes (each one about 1 inch across); that are red, raised, matted areas under the skin, feeling like clumps of pebbles

I think you need an ultrasound (at minimum).

Do you have cats?  (animals)

I suppose these could be cysts...but, I personally would get some imaging asap.
