Burning Armpit Slightly Swollen Tender Boob

This is an odd one it started with a burning sensation on right inner arm which has moved to my armpit. My skin is sensitive to touch and the burning feeling is so uncomfortable I’m slightly swollen under my armpit and boob is extremely tender in one spot. I’m convinced it’s an infection but doctor told me yesterday it’s a trapped nerve which I find diabolical. 

No lumps or redness which is annoying because it makes me feel like I’m making the pain up. Going on three weeks now.

anyone else relate? 

  • Hello Amis81 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms and that this has been going on for 3 weeks now.

    If things do not improve, or get worse, don't hesitate to go back to your GP. If possible, maybe you could try getting a second opinion if you feel like the first doctor you saw isn't listening to you.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in similar situation will be along soon to offer their thoughts and advice, but in the meantime, our thoughts are with you Amis81 and we'll have our fingers crossed things start to improve for you soon.

    Kind regards,
