I have a pain about 3finger lenghs from my right armpit it is very sore what could this be?

Any swelling: If there's swelling, it could be a lymph node, a sign that the body is fighting an infection, or more rarely cancer. If the node is warm/hot, tender and red, it is more likely to be infection; if very hard, non-mobile, more likely cancer. See your primary care provider to have it checked.
