Doctor can evaluate: Bad pains that occur in the armpits can be mysterious. If they are in the ribcage, they may be sensations of irritation of the pleura (the lining of the inside of the chest cage). If they are truly in the armpit, then a pain may be from the muscles, tendons, bones, nerves, hair follicles, lymph nodes, blood vessels, etc..., in that area. Re-exam and additional tests may be needed to figure it out.
