Arm pit pain for over a month

For about a month I am getting a pain in my armpit, it radiates to my arm n fingers n my breast as well  and it's honestly so annoying I did go to go when it started she examined me she couldn't find anything she said everything looks ok and said it's probably just a muscular pain and that will go on it's own but hasn't gone it's still there and being annoying... I don't want to worry about it but I can't help it ... it happens everyday ....

 

  • Hi Szam12k I'm having a similar issue. Is it there constantly? Mine feels more like a dull ache but it never goes away it's so uncomfortable. I also have swelling. I had an ultrasound and mammogram last week which were both clear but I'm still worried. 

  • Ya basically its constantly and ya its a dull ache!! I am so annoyed honestly ..:,( if everything is clear for you why are you worried?? It will b fine i know how uncomfortable it is but dont worry itll go on its own i am sure :)

  • Hiya yes I have similar pains in my armpits, mines worse on the left but it is on both sides, more of a stabbing pain, I've had ultrasound which has come back clear and bloods done but the pain is in my shoulder blades now, down my ribs and I have an achy neck and abdominal pain too! It's horrible lift not knowing and having the doctor says it's anxiety causing it! I hope you get some results soon. I'm hoping to push for a mri but I think il struggle as I'm classed as too young (34) I've also had a lump come up near my should blade which they said is a fatty lump but that's become uncomfortable too.

  • Mannnn really? I am sorry :/ i am 29 !i am sure its nothing if they did all these tests for u, but i get the feeling of getting a peace of mind..totally! 
    i think it must be hormonal but dont know i think i am gonna wait for another month maybe to see how does this pain get on :/ 

    but like do u get the feeling of inflamation sometimes? And that sometimes when i am not doing anything it still hurts?? 
    i try not to think about it but then pain comes back and sends me in worried mood i hate it.

  • Yea I guess it's just worrying they missed something, and I've not had my stomach pain looked into properly. Umm no mine never feels like it's inflamed or anything it's more just sharp pains on both sides that happen a lot throughout the day, I've had it for over 3 months, but the back and neck pain is more recent. It's just the worry of more things keep happening and not going away. I'm the same and try to get on as normal but it is hard like you say when it's constantly there in the background. Have you had your lymph nodes checked? X

  • I know ! I hope things get sorted for you xx ill keep you in my prayers and everyone else xx

    ya doctor checked everything she said shes not worried and that it will go on its own

  • Thank you, fingers crossed yours sorts itself too! X

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing in your armpit but i'm afraid no one on here can tell you what this might be caused by.

    Symptoms can triggered by lots of different things so when they aren't settling and it is best to get them checked out by a doctor who can assess you and arrange further tests if needed.

    Most symptoms like this are harmless and the result of a muscle strain or nerve irritation and often settle with time but I appreciate ongoing niggles in the body can be unsettling.

    Do let your doctor know it is still there when you can but try not to over think it as muscle injuries can take time to heal.

    Take care
