Hi. I just had the same thing...in my left breast/underarm...and kind of tingling down my arm. Felt somewhat numb in my pinky, ring finger. I thought it was a bunch of things. Especially because I also took a blow to the chest by my toddler with his elbow. After a month of this, I went to an Osteopathic Surgeon. She checked for lumps in my armpit, breast...nothing. I told her I felt a little tense in my back. And sure enough I was. She took me to a different room and worked out the muscle--2-3 mins, told me to stretch more...etc. I can't remember the names of the muscles but one muscle in the back, trapezoid?, CAN affect the one that goes under your arm. She worked it out, and I almost immediately started to feel the circulation go down my arm. It's been a couple days and I feel great...the pain is gone. Like I said, I was thinking the worse...so I am not saying your problem is this simple...but it could be.
