About an hour ago i was sitting watching telly when i suddenly got a severe stabbing pain under my arm, which felt like a knife going in towards my boob. It has happened several times since and i just cannot ignore the level of pain, it's excruciating!

Has anyone experienced this before or know what this could be please?

Are you dehydrated ??

I get this when dehydrated.

Chocol8 · 30/12/2006 23:09

No, i spend most of my life rehydrated, so not that. Why does that effect you there Sherlock?

Sorry I could not help.

is it in the arm or in the chest? in the arm may be a muscle spasm.

Thanks Sherlock. The pain is actually into the side of my boob Kiskidee. I can't feel any lumps or bumps there but will have a look when i go to bed.

Is your breathing ok,no sudden coughing.
Am angling towards the pneumothorax ,but if your breathing is unchanged and fine then I'm talking bollocks.

have you had a cold been under the weather lately... I had a stabbing pain with my plurisy.... apparently you can get the stabbing pain anywhere in that region....

Have you been coughing? I get the strangest pains in the strangest places when I am coughing hard. I get one shoting down my inner, upper right arm - when I cough!

My sister had a pain like this with shingles. She started with what she could only describe as 'sore skin' but nothing to see. Then she got a pain like hot needles down one side, under her arm and round her boob. A few days later some tiny little blister type spots appeared.
