Hydrosadenitis: Usually, inflammation of lymph nodes induce this type of pain. any infection on the upper extremity? Other can be related to a rib and brachial nerve compression, or a cervical rib. it is fairly deep and when i press on it i feel pain and the pain radiates down my arm all the way to my hand. the pain feels like nerve pain Heart failure (if underarm pain is due to heart attack) • Permanent loss of sensation • Permanent nerve damage (due to a pinched nerve), including paralysis • Pulmonary embolism (if deep venous thrombosis is present) • Severe discomfort or pain • Spread of cancer • Spread of infection • See Dr.
