Dull ache under my armpit

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us with your symptoms.

When was the late time you had a general physical exam with your physician? If you have not been seen since the body ache and stiffness began, please call to schedule an appointment.

How old are you? Do you have any medical conditions, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia?
