A member asked:

Deep sharp pain r/shoulder blade x 4days. made worse by breathing! radiates just under r/breast. immune system trashed.(3 ai diseases) i suspect pneumonia based on my history. also see pcp tomorrow.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pleuritic pain: Pain with inspiration is often due to irritation of the lining around the lungs (pleura). This may be a manifestation of pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and a wide variety of other conditions. If you have fever, cough, or are otherwise symptomatic would see a doctor immediately. Suggest calling your pcp and telling them your condition now. Best wishes.
