A member asked:

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!

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.
