Sharp pain under armpit?!


Question: Sharp pain under armpit!?
My husband (who refuses to go to the doctor for this) has been experiencing a "faint sharp pain" under his right armpit for the past 3 days!. He notices it when he lifts his arm or when he stretches!. I think it's a pulled muscle, but he doesn't recall lifting anything heavy or doing anything strenuous!. What else could it be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
People pull muscles all the time during sleep!. You can wait a few days and have him see if it gets better, not lifting anything!. If it doesn't go to the doctor!. Your husband is prob trying to be all manly by refusing the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, I'm not a Doctor!. But, I know that pain in the armpit can be caused by a variety of things!. Some of which can actually be fairly serious!. You need to consider a few factors!. First, there aren't really any muscles in the armpit area!. There can be ligaments and tendons but no actual muscles!. Second what is located in the armpit and this is the serious stuff are glands!! Sweat glands, lymph nodes, etc!. Inflamed glands can cause physical pain like a pulled muscle!.!.!.ie!.!.!.appendix!. Your hubby needs to get his butt to the doctor and get checked out!.!.!.at least a blood test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
