Painful Under Arms

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Burns Lake,British Columbia Canada

When I lift my arm all the way up then take my other hand and press lightly in armpit it is tender. The tenderness goes to my elbow and down my side. It’s like it goes in a line. Both arms are the same. If I lay on my sides to long it gets uncomfortable. Is there anyone else that has this and would you know what it is?
Thanks in advance

Members responded to a question about tender underarm pain that radiates down the arm and side, with several sharing similar experiences of discomfort in the armpit, chest, and shoulder blade area that can ache, burn, or feel sensitive to touch. One member mentioned their doctor suspected thoracic outlet syndrome after clear MRIs and bloodwork, while others suggested possibilities like swollen lymph nodes or fibromyalgia-related pain. A recurring theme was the importance of getting medical evaluation, with members encouraging the original poster to discuss these symptoms with their doctor at their upcoming appointment.
