[|Human|] I am a 71 yr old female who is quite physically active; taking cardio classes about 4 days a week, including weight lifting intervals. I do not ever use higher than 3#s. I m thinking I may have pulled a muscle in my underarm area on left side. under arm quite sore to touch especially as I press into arm pit No lumps are present in arm pit or down toward and in left breast. Been treating with Ibprophen. Been going on for about a week. Seemed better but noticed today not so great. Should I see PCP at this point.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case but better to rule out heart related chest pain first because you are old aged (71 years) and not improving in pain even after taking ibuprofen. So consult doctor and get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Along with painkiller Chat Doctor.  1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Sit with proper back and chest support. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. Stop exercise and weight lifting for 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
