Hi all
I think I'm probably going to see my GP about this but I thought I would ask if anyone recognises these symptoms: for several months now (at least since last October) I have been aware of an uncomfortable feeling in my left armpit. You know what it feels like if your clothes are too tight under your arm? Well, it feels like that - but my clothes are loose. I keep wanting to pull my sleeves away from my armpit. It's not tender, not painful but it's a discomfort. I used to be aware of it only when I was relaxing on the sofa in the evening but recently I know it's there pretty much all the time (like now for instance.) I can't feel any lumps or swellings or tenderness but it bothers me. Any ideas?
With love

I know it's been a while since you post this, however, I am experiencing the exact same discomfort for sometime now. I keep thinking maybe it has to do with stress but sometimes it gets to the point that I just don't know if I can take it. What if anything did you find out was the problem?...looking for help

Hi, I had intermittent pain in my left arm pit for about 8 months about 2 years ago. It used to be so bad that I would press against my arm pit with my right hand to just to try and relieve the pain. I saw two doctor's about it, and was sent to hospital for and x- ray. It came back clear. About a month on I was still getting terrible pain every- so- often, but now started to make a note of when the pain occured... I found that it always hurt when I was stressed or was talking about/ remembering something stressful!
I have been doing Reiki for a few years, so looked over all my manuals again, and it seems that when you are stressed, the pain must be expressed somehow! When I told my mum this, she admitted that she gets the same pain when she desperately needs the toilet! I also get really painful knees sometimes, which act as your bodys' shock absorbers for things that happen in life, like when you feel on 'unsteady ground'. Get it checked- out just incase, but I would also recommend making a note of how you were feeling when the pain occured. Good luck, Nic

Hi Sunanda,
I am facing the very same problem like yours; as mentioned in the thread... I am toooo worried, have visited my GP many times but of no use... My doctor feels its physiological.. Are you still facing d same issue?? How do i help myself :confused:
Do reply.
Similar Issue
It only happens on my left side, which in probably the condition explained in the link below:
Condition described: armpit paresthesia
I dislocated my elbow when I was 16 on that side, and I had damaged the nerve on that side. If you had ever injured your arm or shoulder where the sensation is appearing it could be related.
Stay well,
Pyke

Ask for a second opinion from a different doctor, or an urgent referral to a Breast Care Unit. (Did you mean to say psychological - as in 'all in your head'? Please don't put up with that - my mother was told to stop making a fuss by a doctor in her multi-doctor practice - she was actually very ill)

If someone needs to visit the doctor there is a reason. People have other things to do with their lives than sitting in a waiting room to be told that 'It is all in the head/mind' !!!!! If the doctor's knowledge is so poor that s/he can only come up with that excuse for a diagnosis then change doctors.
Definitely ask for a second opinion/referral.

I know this is really old but I was wondering if anything ever came of your under arm discomfort? I have the same but in both armpits. I have had normal mammograms so I don't know what to do next. Please let me know what has become of yours. Hope it was nothing and you are doing great!
Have you been seen by a breast cancer unit following the mammograms? If not, ask to be referred. If they say that all is well, and it's simply lymphatic congestion, then see a manual lymphatic drainage practitioner who will help to stimulate the lymphatic system and hopefully reduce the discomfort in that area. Check www.mlduk.org.uk for therapists in your area.

It may be due to enlarged lymph nodes - have you had an infection recently, or even months ago? Lymph nodes will remain active for months, while they sort out waste cells. It could also be a symptom of stress. Have you tried 'relaxation'? This could be something simple like going away for a couple of nights; warm baths in a dimly lit bathroom; switching off the telly (and disconnecting the phone) and just chilling for 24 hours without external distractions. Exercise. Just doing something different and fun!
Lots of things could be happening - and what may be the trigger now is, having had all the necessary tests, still worrying that there may be something wrong - when you have been told there isn't.

Yes i'am stress more than i've ever been and i haven't been able to get any relaxation(working on it, kids won't let that happen LOL) and on top of that i work for a big law firm working in accounting(in front of a display almost the entire shift. i will start back to exercising more but time is a big factor. but those are some great ideas and i will work on them to see what happens. Thank you so much 🙂
BTW, no infections at all.

Hi did you ever find out? This has happened to me recently around 1/2 months ive had it for?
Hi Liam,
Sunanda will not be able to respond as she, unfortunately, passed away a couple of years back.
I don't recall if she ever did find the cause of that pain, though she did have other issues related to her breathing and chest that were, ultimately, what took her from us, so it may have been related.

Please, Liam, go to a doctor. Get checked.
