I'm 21 and have been having the same problem since July. A week ago I have finaly decided to go to a doctor. I've done blood and urin tests which came back fine. I've done rtg of my spine, ribs and lungs, and it was also completely fine. After that I've been sent to a gastroenterologist. He said it's acid reflux for which he gave me pills and said to come back in a month for gastroscopy. I left wondering what does it have to do with the pain under armit, but it might explain pain under breast and my doctor told me it's all connected and I just left it at that. A week later I'm still in pain, but the pills helped with acid reflux symptoms a bit. I went to bed and the area under my armpit and my left breast was really swollen and it hurt more. I think it was swollen 'cause I got menstruation the next day. Tomorrow morning everything looked completely normal. I went to see my doctor and told him that it still hurts and he sent me for an ultrasound of the breast and that he thinks it's psychological. I told him if I'm at the point where my own doctor doesn't believe me I don't know what else should I do, 'cause I know something's wrong and that it hurts. My breast ultrasound appointment is in a week and I think they won't really find anything from reading all of the answers above. So being left on my own to find out what it is now. I've stumbled upon a woman in her mid 30s yesterday with the same pain and she has also done all the tests and nothing. She said she thinks it might be an enlarged spleen. So I read the symptoms and all are not there, but it's the closest one so far. So I'm gonna try and beg my doctor for a spleen ultrasound, he probably won't let me take x-rays yet, 'cause I've done three a week ago, the same reason he didn't sent me for a mammography. Because of all the radiation and I think I'm too young for a mammography. If in the end I somehow manage to find out what it is I'll let you know.
