A member asked:

Hey, i reached up and my armpit had a stabbing feeling, more it some and it's been about 30 minutes of constant dull stabbing pain. an i going to die?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: if its your left armpit, you're over 60, and you have known heart problems, maybe. If not, its probably a myofascial (that means muscle and connective tissue) strain and will respond to gentle stretching and NSAIDS. To be sure, see your primary care practitioner.
