Should i see a doctor for upper shoulder pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on: Quality and severity of shoulder pain. It could be coming from your shoulder, underlying chest, or even referred pain from the diaphagm. If you cannot move your shoulder, it can progress to frozen shoulder. If it is severe and recurrent, you should see your doctor.
