Can Muscle Soreness Cause Pain In Armpit?

Hi I have been experiencing a pain under my left armpit and chest area. I do not feel any lumps. When I adduct my arm next to my body I experience the pain more. I experience this pain for more than six weeks now. I have been to two GP s. The first one the first one thought it might be the muscles between my ribs and send me for x-rays but there was nothing wrong. She prescribed inflammatory and pain medicine for two weeks. It did not help. The next doctor said it is my back muscles and prescribed a stronger inflammatory and pain medicine. It still does not work. Can a muscle be sore for so long? It sometimes feels like something is pinching in my armpit.

hello,
i think you have muscle spasm under your left armpit. muscle spasm or muscle soreness will cause sever pain.
you have to take rest for one week.don't allow any movement at your left arm.
avoid lifting heavy weight object.
do hot water fomentation for 15 minutes twice a day for 7 days.
don't allow any kind of stretching movement. and stop medication.
this is only muscle spasm,nothing else.
don't worry it will be resolved with in a few days.
thanks
