Nicole, these sx can take a while to resolve, different for everybody. My burning armpits took about 4-5 years to resolve - and sometimes they act up again. Ice is my very good friend! I know you are tired of dealing with all this, but keep telling yourself that the worst is over and it will get easier as time goes by.

Be sure not to lose your range of motion - do easy stretching of the upper thoracic, shoulder, arm and neck. Easy does it!
