Question 1

pain in left breast and under armpit only last like 5 seconds. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

NO: Probably not very non specific. If it happens over and over get it checked.

Question 2

i started getting sharp pain on top left side of left breast under armpit. it comes and goes every 2hrs but  very sore. any idea of what this may be?

Accepted Answer

Injury/cyst/stress: While often breast pain is cyclic and related to the menstrual cycle, what you describe is not. Sometimes a sharp pain is the result of an injury/contusion that you don't recall. Cysts and fibroadenomas (benign) can develop and grow, pressing on nerves. Stress may cause tension in nearby muscle groups.This can be watched for a week or so if there is no lump. Use heat/ibuprofen. If persists, to Doc

Question 3

Complicated case: It looks like you are having a neuropathic pain from the distribution of your pain. In any case your presentation is a bit concerning and advise you to see your family doc so that you can get the assessment and treatment. Best wishes
