Soreness/dull ache/heaviness in underarm. lymph nodes are not swollen. what could cause this? could it be from my breasts? just finished my period.

Probably: The mammary tissue extends well up under the arm into the armpit. At the time of your period that tissue should be most sensitive. That is quite common. Vitamin E will usually minimize that type of breast pain and tenderness.
