What Does Constant Pain Under The Right Arm Indicate?

I have constant pain under my right arm. It would be at the very top of my right. It is more like where the arm area connects to the shoulder. It is sensitive to touch and aches at night. It is probably more like a shoulder injury, but the constant pain is wearing me out.

By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination, X-ray and MRI of right shoulder joint to rule out any internal pathologies. Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.

1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of shoulder.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of shoulder.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.

Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
