A member asked:
For about 5 or 6 years, every month before my period, my left armpit hurts. i told my gyno back then, and she was not concerned. 52, is this ok??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is breast tissue called the axillary tail of Spence which extends into the arm pit and like any other breast tissue it responds to hormonal changes. As long as the tenderness resolves after your period it is nothing to be concerned about.
