Question 2

Could a nerve problem be causing such symptoms? such as left shoulder pain when breathing deeply and lying down, left arm tingling at all times.

Accepted Answer

Left arm pain and tingling certainly sounds like nerve pain, but the deep breathing and lying down also raise the possibility of other sources.  Although you are very young, left arm pain can also be radiating pain from the heart or chest area.  Start with a visit to your regular physician to narrow down the possibilities.

Question 4

What could cause pain in the right shoulder, pain beneath the right ribs at the front of my body, and difficulty breathing?

Unsure of pain loco. 2 pains or one? Difficulty breathing is a reason to be examined by a doc and x-ray.  Point of shoulder could be tendinitis. Medial to this is breast and lung.

Question 8

This could bean enlarged spleen. It would cause the torso pain as well as referred pain to your left shoulder. You should see your physician for this.

Question 9

Pain underneath my right shoulder, pain while breathing deeply. why?

Accepted Answer

The same nerves that innervate the diaphragm go to the shoulder, as well.  Therefore, anything that irritates the diaphragm, such as gallbladder or liver problems, can be "referred" to the shoulder.  If the only symptom is shoulder pain (ie, no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc), i would search elsewhere. Lung problems such as pneumonia, pleurisy can do the same, although less common.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

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?
