Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Moderate to severe pain in the armpit radiating to the breast can be due to muscular pain or spasm, swollen lymph nodes in the armpit or can be due to the rib or lung pathology at that location.
A proper examination by a physician and investigations like X Ray should be done to confirm the diagnosis and treatment should be done accordingly.
I will suggest you to consult a physician for proper examination and treatment.
