It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, if possible on the day you have soreness. Regular aerobic exercise may help by improving muscle tone and flexibility. Wish you good health!

I've had a few patients through the years with this type of symptom and never found obvious pathology. I attributed it to sore muscles possibly from some activities or overuse. It's always advisable to have your axillae examined by a physician if soreness persists beyond several days or if there's swelling,lumps, significant tenderness or discoloration.
