How Can Left Chest And Shoulder Pain Be Treated?

I have a continuous pain for 6-7 days on the upper left side of my chest near the shoulder- pain varies at time- I have applying Muscle Rub/Voilini and yesterday when I took one combiflam at 2PM it gave complete relief for 8 hours except very mild at one point,but it again started at around 10 PM and slept well. Now it is 6 AM again there is uncomfortableness. Please advice. YYYY@YYYY

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your symptoms improve with the combiflam (painkiller), possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So apply warm water pad and ice packs alternatively on the affected areas.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of the shoulder.
Take combiflam twice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 5 days.
If not improving then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
