armpit pain

Do any of you experience armpit pain after shaving? It's so bad that I had to quit entirely. I finally got a bit grossed out by it and shaved. As soon as I did, that old familiar dull ache that travels from armpit to breast came back within a week. The best way to describe it is like having a breast infection. I've been to docs for it, and no answers. Anyone else experience this? It is also flared by wearing bras with underwires. I am now down to only sports bras.

Definitely a fibro thing, your Lymph Nodes were probably swollen or it could just be the skin irritation, I get both. Unfortunately PCP's know squat about fibro, so your best source of info is right here and all over the net. There are several good, credible websites, besides this one that can answer a lot of questions and even help you come up with a list of questions to ask your doctor's. I hope this helps, oh, you can try hypoallergenic shaving creams, razors with buffer strips, you might even change your body wash, fibro can cause all kinds of allergies, can't hurt Keep In Touch
