What Does Pain In The Armpit Indicate?

Pain started in armpit, woke me up , felt like razor burn and muscle cramp. It went to the right shoulder blade area, with sharp pain. Then it went to the front right breast. The pain in the skin was sensitive to touch. No evidence of a rash, a little irritation, but no blisters. Hard to get comfortable, not easy to sleep. It does hurt if I breathe deeply. I do have a stiff neck. Last night it did go across the back to the left side with symptoms the same as the right

Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that sensitive to touch pain in the armpit can be because of many conditions like muscle strain, skin irritation, shingles, swollen lymph nodes, breast cancer etc. Kindly rest and take over the counter muscle relaxant for you pain.

Consult with a Physican if pain persist for further evaluation and management.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
