Suggest Treatment For Pain Under The Armpit

Rib nerve irritation can be the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such pain in this location is usually caused by rib nerve irritation. This condition is also called costochondritis. The reason of it remains unknown, however sometimes spine disc compression or other spine issues can be the reason.
As this area is close to the breast and armpit is where we have lymph nodes, every symptom in this location should be checked with possible breast changes including breast cancer.
That is why, I suggest you to have breast and armpit ultrasound (just as a precaution).
In the pain treatment, physical therapy (like massage) along with some physical activity should help. Hot bath and Ibuprophen should also greatly decrease the pain.
Hope this helps.
Regards.


This is characteristic for rib nerve irritation.
Detailed Answer:
Yes, exactly this is how rib nerve irritation acts like. That is very characteristic that this pinch suddenly appears (can appear with particular movement), lasts few seconds and disappears.
