Underarm Pain: Causes, Symptoms & When to See a Doctor

Question
i have pains under my arms, i noticed it a few months ago but only really started thinking about it now. it feels like bruising and hurts it i move my arms to my sides of it i touch it. any ideas as the cause??? thanks

Answer
Dear Shauna,

Is it both underarms?  

Are your lymph nodes swollen?  Have you been sick lately?  I am thinking something like mono.

Are you feeling okay?  Do you notice any swelling, redness or warmth?

I most certainly would speak with your physician.  A few months is a long time.

I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful.  Please let me know what your physician says.

Best wishes,

Andrea
