What Causes Right-sided Radiating Pain From The Elbow To The Shoulders?

My Thumb nails have been dark in a line in the center of each nail the right nail has developed a crack in it. I ve also been in a great deal of pain from my right elbow upto my neck and shoulder area. Last month I was treated for broncitis and given z-pac and prednisone. But I still feel tight in chest and still am in pain. I did a search on my nails and it brought up all my other symptoms too. How concerned should I be that I may have cancer?

Hi,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
