A member asked:

I have a dull pain between my left shoulder and collar bone when i take a deep breath in, i have bad posture could this be caused due to that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No that would be : Very unlikely to be the cause of that type of pain especially when only affected by your breathing in terms of a deep breath. It is most likely muscular but if it persists or even worsens, see your physician to make sure it is not something else.
