I'm not sure if it would be something with my muscles.
Or if its the start of breast cancer.
I have felt for lumps and not felt any...
It hurts deeply and it becoming to the point moving my arm
sometimes even makes me shudder.
I know I should go to a doctor.
But maybe someone here has felt this and might know.

Please please help. :(

I am 17 years old.

I doubt that it's cancer. It could be infected lymph glands. Lymph glands are all through your body but the ones most of us are aware of are the ones at the side of our necks which become swollen up with a bad cold. You have a lot of lymph glands in the armpit.

Hon, you REALLY need to see a doctor. There's no reason to suffer if you don't have to. At 17, you're much to young to let something like this just go on. You have a whole life ahead of you and you need to guard your health for your future.

If you don't have a doctor and your family doesn't have medical coverage, go to your school nurse and tell her. She should be able to help you get the medical attention that you deserve.

alot of people have pain around their right shoulder area with gall bladder problems. Does your belly bloat at all? get more painfull when you eat spicy or fatty foods? are you right handed? into sports? could have injurred your rotator cuff in your shoulder area too. You could also have blocked up glands. I do believe there are some glands in that area. But bottom line is you must go to a doctor to find out for sure. Most people with breast cancer get diagnosed before there is pain so...? Please go to the doctor
