pain in chest, armpit
I have been having pain in the upper left side of my chest, on and off, for about a year now. I have been seen by 3 different doctors and a surgeon. I have had a chest xray, a breast exam and an ekg. They have diagnosed it as anything from anxiety to heartburn to breast pain. I tried heartburn medicine, but that didn't do anything. I don't believe I have anxiety, and thankfully the breast exam didn't show any problems.
I know there is something wrong, though. The pain starts in the upper left part of my chest and radiates to my armpit. Sometimes my skin itches. Today I feel like there is a probem in my left arm, also, like my nerves in the underside of my arm are irritated.
I do take birth control pills and have read that they can cause breast pain. Although the pain isn't in my entire left breast, it is in the upper part of it, but more in my chest then in my breast. The pain feels like it is just under the surface of my skin. There are no physical changes to my breast or my skin.
Has anyone had these symptoms before?

Hi, i have a similar problem. My pain is on my left side underarm, on my rib cage. It hurts all round my back sort of near the mid and last ribs at the back. It has been like this for about a week now.... i went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with Urine infection thats traveled into my kidneys. Im on Antibiotics at the moment but the pain seems to have traveled more and more to the back and under arm rather than the original side and bottom front section. The pain is quite severe and the doctor was not very helpful at all. There is a distinct spot on my rib (underarm) in line with my breast. i am getting worried about this pain. can you help me anyone?
I've experienced the same thing and I'm starting to become worried. I have this pain in my left armpit right along the edge of my left breast. No problems with my right. I'm not sure what this is and if it warrants getting it checked out.
I'm really not sure what that could be, but having tenderness on the outside of your breasts (towards the armpit) can be caused by your hormones, both your own and those in birth control. Allthough I don't know what would cause pain radiating down your arm. I hope you find the cause soon...I'm sure it must be pretty frustrating going from doctor to doctor without getting a real answer.
