Asked June 19, 2011
I have constant pain under my arms (both sides) that hurts on my chest and back and the skin is sensitive to touch. It hurts to move and I can "feel" the pain while resting that makes me think of an open wound (like when you have a cut skin and move). I have no previous illnesses; do not and never have smoked; I am 50 years; Male; this has been going on for 10 days now. The pain seems to be in the lymph node area but localizes on my chest under my breast area and back at the same time. Any ideas? Greg Smith

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately your symptoms are very nonspecific so it can be due to a variety of causes. What I do recommend that you do is to go to your family doctor and get a complete physical. If any abnormalities are found then additional tests may be performed.
Hope this helps,
Good luck!
