Suggest Treatment For Severe Arm Pain

My right arm has been giving me some pain for a few days now. At first it felt like a pulled muscle in my armpit, but just now it was in the upper arm and fore arm. It felt like veins were throbbing. It feels tight - inside in spots. It s uncomfortable, but not necessarily painful. The armpit is painful if I move it incorrectly. I m 37, overweight, very sedentary. Eating far better in the last month.

Hii ,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

Your medical history is suggestive of muscle strain which may be caused by Heavy Lifting , Quick Movement ,Prolonged Sitting , improper Posture and you can take over the counter muscle relaxant like thiocholchicoside after discussing your Doctor
Along with medicine Cold compresses , Warm baths ,Gentle Massage may help you ,Also Avoid oily and spicy foods to avoid gas , bloating and heart burn which may also cause similar pain in right chest to shoulder

However Pain Under Right Arm including armpit may indicate some serious underlying disorders including Cardiac or Neurologic origin and it needs thorough medical check up and investigations to spot a confirm Diagnosis

You Should get it evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible
-if your symptoms do not improve over 5-7 Days
-if your Pain under right armpit moves towards the chest, than it may be related to heart Disease
-If you feel numbness , tingling in arm or shoulder or unable to use your arm completely

so i would strongly suggest you to see Your GP to rule out any underlying medical condition

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
