Pain right shoudlerblade

Hi, yesterday I started to have a sharp pain under my right shoulderbalde, which went out to the side and into my right arm. It was like a cramp. The pain was very sharp, and I couldn't lift my arm without pain. I think it comes from my lung, but I'm not sure, doesn't feel like muscle pain. I am taking paracetamol for the pain and it's better this morning.

Does anyone recognize this? And know what it might be?

Thanks.

When I get those sharp pains, for me, it usually means a plug. I can always tell because the pain intensifies if I try to take a deep breath in. Did you notice the pain getting worse with a deep breath? That is how I tell what the pain is.

Hi, thanks for replying, no I can't say that I feel the pain more when breathing in, however I have for the last 3 weeks or so, had an ache in my chest, which worsens when I breath in. I don't know if this is related... Can you expalin to me what a plug is?

Thanks.

A "plug" is a collection of mucus which obstructs one of the bronchioles. Usually it acts as a kind of one way valve, letting air in but not out. This can cause pain or even a tear in the alveoli. The pain when you raise your arm is probably a muscle strain (from coughing perhaps), but your having dull chest pain for a few weeks is enough for you to go have a chest xray. You don't want to let things go and find out later you have a full blown pneumonia when a simple chest xray would have caught it early and prevented serious damage. I wish you luck. let us know what you find out.

I would definitely mention it to your doctor or clinic. My husband had this type of pain and kept shrugging it off. Luckily I convinced him that he needed to take his health seriously and that even if it wasn't anything then he could rest assured that it wasn't anything. They had him do a chest x-ray and turns out he had an pleural effusion which is a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity. They were surprised that he did not have any symptoms from pneumonia as this usually happens after having a spell of pneumonia. They took some blood tests and etc. They then sent him home and said since it wasn't causing any severe pain or making him sick then over time if he is lucky that the body would evaporate that extra liquid. If it didn't evaporate the liquid then the next step would be to stick a needle into the area though the back and drain the excess fluid.

They would then test the contents and find what was causing it and prevent it from coming back. After a couple of weeks they had him come back in and the liquid was much smaller. He does not have that pain anymore luckily but every once in a while he does get a bit sore but they just expect it to be the muscle still sore from the excess fluid since the muscle can take some time to heal back up. Even though he was very lucky, we are very lucky he went in to be looked at our else we wouldn't have known what he was up against. Best to be looked at and have no more guessing. I hope that it is nothing and wish you lots of luck and hope you begin to feel better. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
