What Causes Fatigue And Pain In The Shoulder While Suffering From Emphysema?
Hello, I think the pleurosy itself is causing pain and it is getting radiated to the shoulder. If that gets controlled this might go too. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Harshita, Ophthalmologist
