Suggest Treatment For Pain Caused By Lump In Shoulder
I have a lump between my shoulder blades on my spine and it is causing me a lot of pain, I recently had tonsillitis and it appeared after that. It keeps me up at night sometimes and the pain is getting worse. I also used some deep heat on the lump and I came up in loads of red blotches, I keep getting cold shivers and just feeling generally ill, I m 17 years old and I feel like an old woman! I ve had this lump for about 2 weeks now.
