Pain Constantly Behind Left Shoulder Blade, Chiropractor Work Done Many Times. Growth Behind Arm Pit. Thoughts ?

have had pain behind left shoulder blade for years approx 15years have had chropractor work done many off times as left rib was out, this seemed to give some relef but not for long. recently i noticed shape pains down left arm and as far as my left leg. Feels like a growth has got bigger behind left arm pit round by left lat area, also a lump has appeared on left arm just below shoulder blade which made me go to doctor i,am booked in for a FNA and blood tests in the coming days. There seems to be alot of twitching going on from shoulder to arm even in left hip but only sence i noticed lump on left arm which was only a couple of days ago. doctor give me any thoughts on what it could be, what is your thoughts on this.

Hi,

I would like to make you aware that the shoulder and hip joints have two different nerve supplies. We must concentrate on the shoulder blade pain and growth at the moment. I am sure X rays might have been done in the past and might have been repeated recently. A CT scan evaluation would have been better but this needs to be discussed with your doctor.

The FNAC is a must if the growth is progressively increasing in size. This will give insight into the cells and help and further diagnosis. The lump on your left forearm also needs to be assessed clinically.

Hope it helps.
