Slight Chest Pain, Numbness, Sore Shoulder. Nerve Damage?

Hello, I have had slight pain in my left side chest/breast and numbness/tingling for a week now. It is very annoying and feels strange. I am a 52 year old female and the problem started after doing some heavy work. I also have a sore shoulder on the same side. I suspect it may just be a nerve that is damaged but I am a little concerned that it may be something more serious, thank you for your help, Kind Regards Sue

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
As you suspect, the symptoms most likely are due to minor nerve impingement in the neck region. There is no need to worry, as it would resolve in a few days. However, if the symptoms persist, please get it checked by a neurologist.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
