Under arm pain right side

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me. On Saturday I noticed a pain under my right arm, near my arm pit but more my arm. It was more of an irritation and I ignored it. It has got progressively worse throughout the weekend. If I move my arm backward I get shooting ripping pain down my arm, although it feels more like my skin or nerves rather than muscle of joint. Today it has got really painful. And I have been getting shooting pains down to my elbow and wrist and aware my pinky finger is going numb. I'm really worried about this but I don't know it it warrants wasting a doctors time. Can any one shed any light? There is no visible rash etc

Thanks

      Thanks for your response Joanne, problem is the doctors don't have any appointments till 8th April! I'm really worried about this. The pain is awful and feels like tearing! Do you think this warrants a&e?
