A member asked:

What is causing extreme pain around my left shoulder blade, going into my neck and left arm? it hurts to move and even breathe. also, blood in stool?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck Pain: The real blood, if dark red-see your doc. If bright red and rare. Be cool. Your neck-arm pain could be a disc rupture if your pain is patterned. Sounds too much like a real disc injury to wait. Check with doc. Ortho or near surgeons. You will need and MRI. Good luck. Only 80% get well without surgery.
