Hello, Have Had Pain With My Shoulder Blades For The

Of course I googled and freaked myself out. Saw it should be a tumor and I'm scared as hell. With Covid, I really don't want to go to the doctor
definitely not a tumor!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
Google is fond of doing such to curious persons. For sure, it is not cancer. Cancer would not affect both shoulders and other body parts at the same time. That, I have never seen in medicine except for a primary tumor. Also, your age and absence of other symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite among others makes this less likely.
Nonspecific body aches are not uncommon among persons trying to quit smoking. I will strongly encourage you not to revert and take the easy way out of smoking again. The gains not smoking are so much that smoking is as bad self destructing.
I encourage you to stay focused. Tylenol for aches could help. Frequent moderate exercises would also help with this.
In all, not CANCER!!
I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me as you please.


The pain seems to radiated randomly to my collarbone on my right side and my head hurts to the touch sometimes.
What could the issue be?
I'm hoping that quiting smoking helps with all of this. I'm definitely done after that scare.
Pancoast tumor is no where close!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Relax and quit smoking. These would all help. Most importantly, exercise often and all would be well.
I wish you well.
