Hi and thanks for the query,
its important to ascertain whether this i a local pain, or a referred pain from a neighbouring structure. However, a few issues are important to be known for a better analysis. Is the pain constant or comes only at particular times of the day? what aggravates or relieves the pain? any notion of fever? any lymph node enlargement noticed?
A complete clinical examination by your chest X XXXXXXX and an X XXXXXXX with particular focus on the armpit region is advisable. Blood tests like the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein are important to know whether the pain is inflammatory or mechanical, to aid in further testing and treatment options. A complete neurologic evaluation is important to exclude any nerve involvement.
suggest you book an appointment with an internist for a complete clinical evaluation.
Thanks and best regards. Do not hesitate asking further questions if need be.
