A member asked:
I have had a dry cough for several weeks and today i started having a sharp pain inside my left shoulder blade. should i be overly concerned?

Costochondritis: No this is just inflammation of the chest and should resolve with Motrin for a week or two. Any antiinflammatory will work. This is a common phenomenon. Feel better. Good luck.
