Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. The breast mass which has been picked up on a mammogram could be a cause of the arm pain and the burning sensation in the armpit. It is best that you have it biopsied immediately and review with a breast surgeon following that.
Another cause of this pain could be your persistent sore throat, which can be associated with chest pain as well. You should have it evaluated by a pulmonologist as well.

Hoping for the best.
