Pain In Shoulder. Relieved By Massaging Neck. Pain In Breast. Scared
Hi doctor! i m a 16 year old teenage female. the other day i started getting pains in my left arm near my shoulder , and everyime i rotate my shoulder it clicks. the pain has radiated to my back, in between my shoulder blades. its like a burning pain. when i apply heat to it, it feels slightly better and when my neck and shoulders are massaged. i m a hypercondriac, so i m worried about it being heart related! i have a slight pain above my left breast , near my armpit. it feels like a pinched nerve or muscle pain, but i m really scared. thanks!

I think you should get your vitamin D3 tested. You should always use pillow, especially if you sleep on sides. You should regularly do shoulder rotation exercises. Use moist heat twice daily. I think this is spasm of cervical muscles.
