A member asked:
I have underarm pain on left hand side. feels muscular. comes and goes, not related cycle, bra? pleurisy? have lifted heavy bags. heart? cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifting: Few things will cause underarm pain. This is the site where the neurovascular pedicle passes from the neck, under the collar bone to the arm itself. The muscles there such as subscapular and latissimus can be strained by lifting heavy bags unless this is routine. The bra, lung inflammation (pleurisy) hormone cycles unrelated to producing these symptoms
