Question 1

i have pain+in+the+right+shoulder & it hurts when i breathe in i have +had+it+all+day+?

Accepted Answer

Pleuritic pain: You need to see/call your physician asap! 
pleuritic pain is concerning. Frequently benign, but there are few causes that need to be ruled out (pulmonary embolism)! 
pleuritic pain is sharp chest pain (can be shoulder) that gets worse with deep breathing. 
Many conditions can cause pleurisy with infection being most common, but anything that inflames the pleural lining of lung may cause it.

Question 2

my right shoulder hurts when i breath, why?

Accepted Answer

Muscle spasm.: It could be muscle spasms of the small muscle between your shoulder and rib cage. Try a comprehensive stretching program  of your shoulder and trunk.

Question 3

pain in the ribs located under my breast and pain on top of right shoulder hurts to breathe, yawn, laugh, cannot lay down without feeling pain?

Accepted Answer

Spinal. Dysfunction: sounds like you could have a problem. With the normal movement of your rib cage.  Injury or strain can cause the rib motion to be altered.  That can cause pressure on muscles and nerves leading to your symptoms.  Consider seeing an osteopathic physician that  does manipulation.

Question 4

i have heaviness when i breath plus my right shoulder hurts. i am a 46 year old female. is this serious?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A 40 year-old woman with shoulder pain and chest heaviness can be evaluated to see if there is a heart or lung problem (or some other problem). A call to her primary care doctor can help. The doctor may refer to the ER or to other specialists if needed. If a primary care doctor is not immediately available, one can be seen at the ER to make sure the problem is not a heart attack.

Question 5

i keep gettin shoulder pain in my right shoulder, 1 min it can be fine next it hurts even wen i breathe what could it b? help please!

Accepted Answer

Referred pain : It sounds like you have "referred pain"  - pain that starts somewhere else and then recruits nerve fibers that send the pain elsewhere. I say that because the pain with  breathing suggests a primary problem in your lung or pleura i.e. Pleurisy. The pain then radiates to your shoulder. Do you have fever? You need a chest x-ray.

Question 6

i wash sitting down, and all of a sudden had a sharp pain in right shoulder very painful. and now after that when i breath in my shoulder hurts?

Accepted Answer

Right shoulder pain: It sounds to me to be your diaphragm irritated which refers pain to your shoulder and when u take a deep breath. If u just recovered from an upper respiratory infection there is residual inflammation in your lungs that can cause this referred pain too.

Question 7

severe right shoulder pain, hurts to breathe cough, laugh, do anything pretty much. my whole right shoulder blade area and makes my arm feel heavy?

Accepted Answer

Sounds muscular but: While this sounds muscular, the diffuculty breathing makes me worry about any possible lung involvement. You need to be evaluated by your primary care to rule out pulmonary disease then decide on proper evaluation of your pain.

Question 8

i feel there's a lump in the right side of my throat no pain while swallowing.lump sensation hurts when i take a deep breath and right shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say : Would need more info and exam.  If it has been fairly recent swollen nodes can cause similar symptoms and are often associated with a viral or bacterial infection.  A good medical checkup would probably be a good place to start.

Question 9

i woke up at 4am with very sharp right shoulder pain. it is still hurting especially when i take a breath.

Accepted Answer

Be seen: Many possible causes, but usually chest and/or shoulder pain that is worse with inspiration would be well suited to be urgently evaluated just to rule out a cardiac or pulmonary cause.

Question 10

my right shoulder hurts when i throw a baseball hard. who do i see?

Accepted Answer

See below: There are three types of docs who would deal with this. An orthopedist, a sports medicine specialist and a physiatrist who specializes in joint and musculoskeletal problems.
