Hi,
What is your age? Since when have you noticed these symptoms?

The pain that you feel is most probably an axillary lymph node infection, or muscle pull, or a bad posture.

Is there any history of trauma?
Do you notice any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes?

Use some warm compresses and do not shave, wax or use a deodorant for a few days - the lump should resolve on  its own. Try some pain relief medications and see if it helps.

If it still persists, you would need to see your doctor for a clinical evaluation.

Let us know if you have any other doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Regards.
