pain in right breast under arm

Three days ago I began having pain under my right breast. As nurses we all have tried to diagnose the pain. Some suggesting lung or gallbladdar however the pain is not internal it is external (above the rib). When I am standing the pain is worse when I sit back the pain subsides. If I raise my right arm over my head and lean to the left this also feels better. What could this be?

For about 1 year and 1/2 I have had occasional pain under my right armpit, but not in my armpit, under it, like in my ribs. the pain travels from under my pit to under my right breast. the pain comes and goes and can last from minutes to weeks. it hurts to breathe in when i have the pain. the doc says the xray shows nothing. help?

I pushed myself up to get out of bed, and felt a ripping pain under my right arm. Its still very tender behind my arm, and started hurting across the top of my right breast. Could this be a pulled muscle? Also I had a mamo done in February of this year and it came out fine. My mother had a breast removed from cancer, and I'm concerned this pain may be something to worry about.

I kept tugging at the section of the bra that went under my right arm, and they hurt. Turns out, once diagnosed, I looked at them head on in the mirror and couldn't see any real difference. Until I lifted my arm. I had lots of breast under one arm. 10cm mass. Don't worry about what you don't know for sure. But if you have concerns, don't wait either to find out. :) Best of luck.

i have been having a bad chest pain starting from the center of my chest leading to the section under my breast to under my arm.......... it sometimes come on in earnest and prohibits me from speaking or moving.... i also have to try to slow my breathing down as well in order to get a release. the pain feels like a contraction and and it hurts as if i am being squeezed....... would love to get a response......

i have the same problem pain under the right arm and front right breast area also a certain point in the back next to thwe right shoulder blade. had xray and a mri etc etc no results.My conclusion is that it is from the meds i am using.It is hard to sleep and it keeps you awake and walk the floor.

A few months ago I was taking a shower and when I was washing under my right arm I experienced an intense pain. It felt like a needle or hot burst inside me just under the skin and under my right armpit. After that it would come and go. It seemed like something was building up over time and then when I press on it something would burst and I would get that pain. It would then temporally go away and would happen again after awhile. There is no outward swelling or discoloration.

I am having pain under my left arm pit it is very painful around the edge of arm pit and my under arm hurts when my arm is down. should I be concerned.

The most common sign of breast cancer is a lump or thickening in the breast. Other potential signs of breast cancer include: a spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from the nipple, retraction or indentation of your nipple, a change in the size or contours of the breast, flattening or indentation of the skin over the breast or redness or pitting of the skin over your breast.

At 40 yrs. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a radical right mast. Dec. 15, 2004. My cancer in the breast was microscopic and throughout the breast, also had lymph nodes they took out 31 and had cancer in 30nodes. I received AC chemo then Taxotere, radiation and received Herceptin for 1yr. This past Sept 2008, I was finally ready for reconstruction. The surgeon took the Latt. muscle from my back to help with reconstruction and put in a expander.

Worried about the pain my mother is experiencing in her right arm (shoulder area coming down to elbow). She is a known hypertensive patient for many years now. Sometimes she bleeds from both her nose and mouth and the drs say its due to hypertension.

m having sharp pain in my chest on my right side kind of chest and right breast that shoots the pain to my right armpit. If I cough, lift with my right arm and bend over and reach with my right arm it hurts. I know I need to lose weight and quit smoking but am having a hard time.

It is June now I now have severe pain in the right back of neck,{collarbone right side) shoulder blade and armpit, pain runs down my right arm and numness and tingling in the ring and pinky fingers,when i cough it is even more severe and shoots pain in the shoulder blade and armpit. Pain is so bad at times it makes me want cut my arm off, wakes me up in the middleof the night. MRI of shoulder showed mild tendoinitus, EMG results were negative.

This isn't the best title for my topic. I have been experiencing extreme pain in the right breast that has put me in the hospital overnite. I had 2 ultrasounds on the breast and a mamogram. The drs. said the lymph nodes in my right breast close to my arm pit (that's where the worst pain in the breast is located) are irratated and inflammed. I am on pain meds.. What comes next? Why do/how lymph nodes get like this? I am a 38 year old female with a 16 year old son.

I just had my mamogram and had to go back for an ultrasound because they found a suspicious looking spot on my right breast. Turned out to be a very small cyst in which I am relieved. I have had this ache under my right arm right by my breast and I don't know why. It doesn't hurt all the time but it's annoying. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

I have been having pain in my right breast for about a year now. The pain seems to be on the side near my arm and hurts when I press on it or stretch my arm out. I had a Mammo in January followed by and ultrasound due to that area being dense. The ultrasound found a couple of cysts but nothing more. The pain seems to be worse lately so I am concerned. I went to the doctor last week and he did and x-ray of that arm but really found nothing there.

The pain which is almost never associated with breast cancer may be felt in only one breast or may be felt as a radiating sensation in the under-arm region. The pain may also be a result of hormones received from contraceptive methods (i.e. birth control pills). Try to avoid caffeine (coffee,chocolate colas etc..) because it can increase your breast pain.

I have had a lump under my right arm for the past two months. Lately, it seems to have got bigger. When I press it, it hurts and moves a little. My doctor has ordered an ultrasound and MRI now; quite frankly, he seemed a little shocked. I have breast implants and was told two years ago that one of them had leaked. Could this be linked?
