axillary nerve or known as circumflex nerve is a nerve of the human body that comes off the brachial plexus. Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous and muscular innervation of the entire upper limb

All nerves forming the brachial plexus are vulerable to injuries. Most commonly affected are axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve and the radial nerve. The axillary nerve is injured in 37% making it the most commonly injured structure with this type of injury.Suprascapular nerve at 29%, and the radial nerve (22%).
Where you get pain
The median nerve provides sensory and motor function to the hand and forearm. It innervates muscles involved in flexion of the wrist and fingers, as well as sensation to the palm and fingers. Injury to the median nerve can result in weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
Dermatologists typically treat axillary hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating in the underarm area. Treatments may include prescription antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral medications, or in severe cases, surgical procedures like sweat gland removal or nerve ablation.
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.

The axillary artery moves oxygenated blood to the the upper limbs, axilla and thorax. :)
Axillary nerve supplies the deltoid and the teres minor mucsles. So you wouldn't be able to abduct your arm otherwise. It is also the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.
The axillary nerve, which arises from the brachial plexus, is primarily responsible for innervating the deltoid muscle. It provides motor innervation to the deltoid muscle, controlling its function of shoulder abduction.
Its sensory distribution is the skin overlying the deltoid muscle.
deltoid and teres minor
Autonomic nerve function in body
The deltoid is innervated by the axillary nerve which originates from the ventral rami of the C5 and C6 spinal nerves, via the superior trunk, posterior division of the superior trunk, and the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
what is the function of the median nerve
To prevent injury to axillary nerve, which is located in the relatively upper part of deltoid.
