A member asked:

My shoulder hurts and it hurts to breqthe what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be careful!: If you have been recently injured and are getting better, then likely just a bruise. BUT, if no injury it may mean cancer or infection. Please bet a check up ASAP if no injury. And get a check up if you have an injury but are not about 50% better in 3 to 5 days.
