A member asked:

Pain from armpit to wrist when lifting arm. forearm also painful to touch. no recent injury ?

Forearm pain : Interesting symptoms. I am concerned with a possible lymph node or other tissue compressing a large branch of nerves in the armpit. Can also be a viral syndrome that effects those nerves. You need to see a doctor.
