It may mean Chestinf: Chest infection(Pneumonia) can cause cough and chest pain. The associated pleural reaction(Pleurisy) causes pain which gets worse on deep breathing and or on coughing. Most folks with pneumonia have fever of&gt; 100 degree.
If you have any of the above symptoms, you should get medical check from your physician. A chest X-ray may be useful to look for pneumonia.

Urgent care tonight: This sounds like it was a pretty bad fall. You can't be entirely sure how badly you might have injured yourself. Is it possible to get someone to take you to urgent care or ER tonight? I suggest this not to alarm, but because your health is the most important to you. Good luck.

Question 8

pain in the left shoulder blade when strtching, leaning my head right side, exhaling, lying on my left side, wen twisting my body. what cud be d cause?

Question 9

i have a slight pain left shoulder blade in occasion when taking a deep breathe. this is making me feel anxious as have a history of a pe albeit this is a different pain to what i suffered in the past. anything else it could be. do not feel unwell?

Accepted Answer

: This could be a strained/pulled muscle…and being anxious can make it feel worse. As you are feeling well and if you have no difficulty breathing, it is unlikely to be a PE or anything else serious. However, with your history, I would recommend you call your doctor to be seen. If you start having shortness of breath, get seen urgently.

Question 10

what might lead to a burning pain in my left shoulder blade?

Accepted Answer

Muscle strain: Sometimes you can get a muscle strain in one of the muscles that attach to the shoulder blade and it can cause a burning type pain.  Try alternating ice and heat on the area and gentle stretches.. Avoid heavy lifting. If it is not resolving or if you have any weakness in that arm see your doctor.
