Answers:
Yes it could be tendinitis. It could also be shoulder impingement... meaning that you have structures that are being "pinched" when you move. If it is swollen, try icing it no longer than 15-20 minutes at a time. It could also be a "frozen" shoulder. Think of your armpit as an accordion when your arm is down and at rest, sometimes you can develop adhesions within that accordion. It's best to see your physician but they may just refer you to physical therapy for some manual therapy and exercises. Meanwhile, try ice, if that makes it worse, you can try heat and anti-inflammatories. Hope this helps.
