What Causes Heaviness In The Armpit?
Hi, I m fifty yrs. old and a mother of four. I have for the past seven months felt on & off a heaviness in my right arm pit. Sometimes it feels as if I m carrying something there. This can t be breast connected, can it? I think it s not because it s in the arm pit area not in the breast.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain.
I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for pain relieve.
I also suggest to use Voltaren gel for local application.
Cold compresses can also help in reliving the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
