At the risk of jumping in, putting my 2 cents in and getting my nuts virtually cut off here, GT, your occasional discomfort may also be a result of lymph fluid build up. there are lymph glands in the armpit area and to either side of the breasts. Unlike the ciculatory system, the lymph system has no pump. It gets ,ummm, pumped by normal muscle contraction in the course of normal daily activities and this can be an issue for people with pain and other physical problems. Massage can help. Very gentle massage. It can be self done, or, you/ve had a few offers on here already for help in that area. As far as seeking and getting medical care is concerned, I know that, sadly, in the U.S., that can be a problem. But, it can still be done,even having no insurance and if one happens to live in a rural area. And, unlike the "you get what you pay for" rule of life, there are some skilled, compassionate health professionals out there working in free clinics and for social services. They just need to be sought out. Best wishes and good luck to you.
