I wish I had some ideas about
the under arm pain, but I'm not sure what would be causing it. Tammy, I have something called costochondritis that causes pain in my chest and pressing on it makes it worse. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but from what I've read it's inflammation around the chest wall and into the tissue around the ribs and chest. It can be very painful, but it's not dangerous. It's worth asking your doctor about
it.
