A member asked:
My husband has a pain in his right shoulder that is worse with inspiration? no known injury, what could cause this?

Many things.: Could be something ( infection, tumor, inflammation, blood clot, etc. ) in the lung or against the lining of the lung at either the top of lung or against the diaphragm. Could be a muscle exterior to the chest wall or even in the chest wall. Unlikely to be something related to the rib directly without an obvious trauma.

See below: If any breathing issues, a possible pneumonia or lung issue could be the cause. If any abdominal pain, gall bladder or liver issues could be considered. See you doctor for an evaluation asap.
