Welcome to EmpowHER. I can appreciate your situation. The high cost of health care and insurance prevents individuals from getting adequate and necessary health care.
When you went to the ER, did you mention the pain in your left armpit and tender left breast?
Is there an urgent care or walk-in clinic in your area? That may be a better choice than going back to the ER.
Are you having any other symptoms, such as a lump in your armpit or redness? Have you had a recent injury or fall involving your left arm? Do you play a contact sport?
The common causes of axillary (armpit) pain include:
skin abscesses that cause lumps to form under the arm
skin irritation from shaving
brachial plexus injury caused by a fall or during contact sports
lymphangtis which is caused by an acute streptococcal infection of the skin that infects the lymph node ducts.
Please keep us know if we can be of any further help.
