Muscular most likely: More likely muscular So stretching and warm moist heat and an OTC anti inflammatory would be a good start If it persists more than 4-5 days go to your doc

Strong ache under the arm pit on the chest side radiated later to the shoulder blade, then down to make a band on the left upper arm. Pain stronger when standing. Nothing done to cause muscle strain.
