I have pain under my arm pit and im very worried it could be cancer or a pulled muscle? should i see a doctor?

Absolutely: Your doc should be able to clarify. It you are able to reproduce the pain by pushing or moving or twisting, your pain is likely musculoskeletal. If you have a history of cancer there is a possibility that they may be connected, otherwise it would be unlikely for the pain to be related to cancer and an evaluation will help in dissipating the anxiety generated by your symptoms.
