What Do Swelling And Numbness In The Left Underarm Indicate?

My left underarm has suddenly swollen and the underside of my arm is numb, the pain radiates any where from down my arm across my back and up my neck. A burning, stiff, or muscle achy pain, a constant ache that will flare up to be quite painful. Started 2 days ago. I wanted an answer to my symptoms, not ur competive medical answers, this was bullshit. Pay for a lousy answer

hello there,
your symptoms can be due to any infection or herpes or any pathology of breast that has spread to your armpit or high blood sugar.
work up that can be done in your case is USG both breasts with armpits, complete blood count, blood sugar.
it would have been helpful if photo of the affected area had been available.
still let us try and help you.
kindly try tablet zifi 200mg twice daily for atleast 7 days, tablet metrogyl 400mg twice daily for 7 days,tablet PCM 500, thrice daily. aloe Vera for local application,tablet cetirizine at bed time, tablet nurokind G once a day.
