He may be right: Start an anti inflammatory medication ( i assume he prescribed one) like Ibuprofen for a few days, gentle stretching, ice packs and if not improving over the next week or two, follow up with him.

Did you have pulled: Muscle, you could your self if you have it, pulled muscle should improve with treatment and rest. Some time we could order MRI test to see this a pulled muscle if did continue more than usuall time.

On Christmas day I noticed a lump by my armpit that is sore. It's like a bruise/sore muscle kind of pain. The lump is smaller than the tip of my finger. I've tried calling my family doctor but he may be on leave. Should I get it checked out ASAP?
