Pain in right armpit

Hi everyone,

I am 36 & back in November I had a pain in my right armpit. It would come & go & felt like a dull ache. I examined myself several times but couldn't find anything. I did go to my doc who said it was a strained muscle but fast forward to January & it was still sore. She sent me to the breast clinic where the woman said, pain wasn't a sign of breast cancer & that she couldn't feel anything, she prescribed anti inflammatories & sent me on my way. I was in & out within 5 mins.

I still have this pain & I've made anther appt with my doc for Thursday. I just wondered if anyone else had suffered from pain under their arm? 

Thanks 

  • Hi Nat0705,

    It sounds like you've done all the right things by getting this checked out, and also in following up again as it hasn't improved and you haven't got any answers yet.

    I hope that the appointment this Thursday is helpful. If you feel you're not getting anywhere and you remain concerned, you can always ask for a second opinion from a different doctor.

    Wishing you all the best,
