Pain in Armpit while BFing

Today I've felt a dull ache or pain in my armpit for the first few minutes that LO nurses. It kind of travels down towards my boob. I've never felt that before, this time or with DS1. Anyone else get this? Any idea if it's normal, or should I be worried that it could be the beginning of an infection or something?

    I remember feeling that sensation a few times with DS in the early weeks of nursing, and maybe once or twice with DD.  I agree with PP who said there are ducts around there, but I don't really know what the sensation signifies.  I did not have mastitis or clogged ducts (to my knowledge) when I felt it. It seemed to correllate with a letdown for me.  Sorry I'm no help!
