Have Burning/stabbing Pain In Shoulders, Chest, Calf And Wrist
Hello, I have been coughing, though not too much over the weekend, but now, when I cough hard, I get a burning/stabbing pain in both shoulders, both sides of my chest, my calf, and even my wrists. The pain is extreme and I feel like I'm going to collapse when it's happening. Once I stop coughing, the pain stops. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain and burning that you are feeling could be due to a nerve root irritation or a nutritional deficiency. Electrolyte imbalance can also cause such symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
