A member asked:
Muscle on my side below armpit is slightly swollen and painful; it's been so for about a week?

Be checked: If you did not injure it, probably the two most common causes would be swollen lymph nodes as there are a chain of lymph nodes in that area that can become swollen and tender if inflamed, or some form of infectious process. I would not hesitate to be seen.
