What Could Sharp Pain In Armpit While Breathing Suggest?
I just recently started having a sharp pain that starts in my armpit/pec area. I dont recall any trama, but it started with pains in my shoulder area. When I sneeze or take a deep breath it hurts. Also when I move my arm, extended, it hurts. Any thought?

Hi,
It could be an inflammatory pain.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
