Maybe frozen shoulder or possibly heart disease. Advise TV consult.
Hard to know what you mean by "sore armpits." You probably have a shoulder issue - either arthritis or rotator cuff issue. Try advil 3 tabs with each meal. If after a week there is no improvement, see an orthopedic doctor.
Hope it helps!!

I am not certain what you need to know. If your symptoms are significant you may need to be evaluated by your family doctor or a sports medicine specialist or orthopedic surgeon to determine possible cause for your symptoms and then they can suggest treatment options.
