Yikes, another new symptom!

Has anyone ever experienced an intense stabbing pain in one of their armpits? This is just weird, it's like the icepick headaches I get (I have them a lot lately). I can barely stand it.

Could it be constochondritis? I've had that in my ribcage and sternum, so intense once I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER by ambulance.

This disease is driving me nuts!!! [bonk]

Do you have a swollen lymph node?

Besides having lymph nodes in the neck, you also have them around the axilla (armpit).

Try hot compresses.

I get this on and off. For me its when I am over toxic and herxing.

Lymph gets backed up. Pekana lymph drainage,Red Root in Healing Lyme book by Buhner.

Also Donna Eden Lymph massage as in her book Energy Medicine.

This all helps me. Check with your LLMD. Hope it gets better soon.

Jamers, that would mean the icepick headaches that I'm getting lately are probably from Bart, then?

I sure would like to know which bug is most active right now and target that one. I was thinking about trying Byron White's producst, like A-L Complex, A-Bart, A-Bab... Can't afford abx right now.

Thanks for your replies everyone. Helps to know I'm not alone with this weird thing.

Yes, icepick headaches are common with Bart. Mine are usually on my forehead or top of head but also have all over head pressure.

I also get tingling, random pains, vision disturbances, anxiety, and fatigue.

I get the same thing - sharp, stabbing pain in armpit, usually on the left side. Mine is a result of bartonella.

Try dry skin brushing to get lymph fluid flowing. Maybe that may bring some relief.
