Underarm pain: A cerebrovascular accident, heartburn, peripheral artery disease, neuropathy issues or a swollen underarm lymph node can cause sharp, shooting pain in your armpit area. The pain is not a disease in itself but a sign that alerts you to a number of different issues within your body. See your doctor as soon as possible.

Arm Veins.: It is very difficult to say what your problem is based on the info provided. It is not uncommon for arm veins to increase and decrease in size depending on many factors. I would recommend that you see either your primary physician or a vein specialist.
