 [ Symptoms ] i have a constant dull pain in my right upper chest about even with my armpit [ Disease ] well to be honest with you this sounds like edema edema is a fancy word for swelling in this case edema would refer to fluid retention in the legs if this is a new symptom it is worth getting it checked out by your primary care provider many conditions can cause edema of the legs and several of them are treatable meanwhile you can relieve this swelling by elevating your legs or wearing compression stockings available over the counter for both women and men if possible you might also reduce your salt intake as this can lead to swelling of the legs hope this helps
