How To Treat Pain In Armpit Due To Muscle Injury?

Injured a muscle in the armpit of my right leg longer than a month ago and i am still in pain and it feels sore every day, i have not seen a doctor because i thought it was just a pulled muscle and that it would heal in time, is this normal or should i get it looked at?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. One month has passed, it should have been healed till now. Probably you have not done proper rest. Even after rest of 15-20 days if pain is not relieved,then you need further investigation by MRI. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
