Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have been experiencing pain in my whole shoulder, but more specifically my lower shoulder. It is a sharp pain next to my armpit, above my left nipple. It is very sensitive to touch. I have taken ibuprofen but it does not seem to help. I m worried that it could be more serious than just shoulder pain. What do you think it could be?
Hello, left side shoulder pains can arise from the heart or any inflammatory condition of the upper abdomen .Both needs to be checked in a hospital. Viral infection of the nerves called herpes initially starts like you mentioned and then later develops vesicle.
