Question 1

left shoulder pain when deep breathing. can it be gas?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: Consider a muscle strain in the area of the effected shoulder.  Also consider some condition in the lung such as pleurisy.  Do you have any sign of an infection or have you strained your muscles recently.  Also, consider reflux espophagitis.  Do you get a sour taste in the mouth?  Consider cardiac pain.  How is your heart?

Exercise: Possibly a small cartilage or labral tear. Should get better over time. But I do recommend range of motion exercise like the pendulum exercise, taking Motrin or ibuprofen. See your doctor get checked if it does not get better over a few weeks.

Question 8

i'm getting some left shoulder pain with movement. how do i alleviate the pain?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: A middle age male with chronic unilateral shoulder pain needs to be evaluated.  The shoulder is an exceedingly complex mechanism with numerous soft tissues that, when injured, can each become generators of chronic pain.  A hands-on evaluation by an osteopath would be useful.  Until then, rest and heat are advised.  Acupuncture and massage might help.

Question 9

left shoulder pain for no reason, been hurting for 2 weeks now. is this major symptoms or concern?

Accepted Answer

Medical evaluation : It is difficult to tell just by the duration of pain  how severe is the problem.  It is certainly telling  you that medical evaluation is necessary.  It could be a small issue but no way to determine that without a good physical examination.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Referred pain: I suspect  referred pain from the neck but other  causes could be  involved like esophageal involvement,  or referred  from gall bladder. Your physician can clarify this and have you get the appropriate  evaluation
