Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder And Armpit Along With Fever

Several months ago my neck started hurting on just my right side. The gland was quite sore and the pain has now moved to my shoulder and greatly in my armpit. It is to the point where I don t want to move my arm. A friend felt my armpit and thought there may be swelling, but just her doing that has caused great discomfort. It does not feel anything like a muscle and cannot relate it to any injury. I have been running a low grade temp for several weeks as well.
