What Causes Sudden Pain In The Left Shoulder And The Neck?
I had a sudden onset of pain in my left shoulder, going up the nape of my neck and around my left shoulder blade. I also had some discomfort in the front of my chest. Right now, my shoulder and neck are the worst. I am a 76 year old working (full time) woman.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using anti-inflammatory cream for local application.
I recommend physical therapy if the pain continues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
