Swelling in underarm & Pain radiating to
It started with mild pain in my right underarm a month ago and then noticed swelling around 2 weeks ago. Last 2-3 days I sense the pain radiating to both my hands/arms and also left side of my face and I feel pins and needles intermittently. Also there is more pain in my right shoulder. From last evening I have extreme discomfort with this pain which led to me waking up suddenly in fear multiple times in the night. Not sure which doctor to consult with this issue.

I need to know more to be able to make diagnosis. In the meanwhile Follow this
1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do.
