Be rechecked: If you are experiencing severe pain on the left side of your neck down into your arm, it is probably more than a simple injury to your "bursa". Among possible causes which could be checked for would typically be a pinched nerve in the neck, a torn rotator cuff, or signs of cardiac ischemia. A detailed history, exam, and appropriate studies would likely result in an accurate diagnosis.
