Hi,

It may be due to some compressed nerve at the arm pit. You can take analgesics like Tramadol or Acetaminophen for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing you good health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
