A member asked:

Should i be worried about armpit pain, looking for another oppinion? the pain is a throbbing pain that comes and goes. should i have it evaluated by my doctor?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Absolutely: Throbbing pain in the armpit is abnormal under any circumstances and if not getting better or going away needs to be diagnosed. You cannot do this yourself. Please see a doctor.
