Is It Possible To Experience Neck And Shoulder Pain After A Breast Exam?
Is it possible to experience neck and shoulder pain after a breast exam? I went yesterday to have an exam and the doctor examined my right breast because I felt a lump. After the probing and pressing firmly, I begin having neck and shoulder pain. I have a mammogram scheduled due to the lump that she felt also, but was wondering why the sudden pain in my neck.

Hello,
It is unlikely to have neck and shoulder pain after breast examination. The pain can be due to some other cause. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
