ummm!!!!
I've had similar armpit symptoms. I would blow up 3" balloons and place them comfortably in my armpits to help with that. seemed to provide noticeable relief.
I also learned from another post that keeping your elbows as straight as possible with your palms up helps tremendously.
I had that "can't hold on to anything because my paws don't have glue on them" scenario. It's just tough to do anything. At that time, I remember I did not like moving my arms away from my sides at all. It hurt and caused me to just kring (dont know how to spell that either) with pain on movement.

Don't have sweaty or white hands and no headaches.
Post surgery I've had a pinching feeling in my armpit that after several minutes feels like a bee sting. Usually only lasts 10 minutes all together.
Pain, like someone gave me a noogie (no clue how to spell that) on the upper right/center of my chest. Comes and goes.
Increased weakness. I usually hand wash dishes but seem to be having more trouble holding on to slippery, soapy dishes. Basically minimal grip strength.
Ulner nerve has been going beserk.
Burning in forearm and pain in wrist. Again, post surgery problem.
