Does Underarm Pain/swelling, Tingling/numbness In Fingers Indicates Pulled Muscle?

For a few weeks now I have been experiencing some underarm pain along with some tingling/numbness in the fingersof my left hand. I would not say there is any underarm swelling as such. I do zumba and boxing classes each week. Could it be a pulled muscle?

It can be a pulled muscle or ligament strain. So avoid sporting activities for few days. Take Brufen if pain is very severe. There is slight chance that it can be cervical spondylosis. Confirmation can be done by a x ray of cervical spine.
