Need an evaluation: There's more than one thing that can cause this. You could have pleurisy and the upper chest wall. But also shoulder pain can occur from Pleurisy, cardiac issues or even rupture spleen. I'm not making that diagnosis but I am suggesting you get an evaluation and to clarify whether any of these or some other process is involved

Pain: Were you exerting yourself or lifting anything heavy recently or playing sports recently? Any back pain or fevers? Any recent travel outside US? Could be muscle strain or lung issue/infection: please answer these questions to help you get you better faster.

I woke up with a sore chest. No caughing or sinus. The chest pain went away after a day but moved to the back/my right shoulder blade and my arm is numb. I noticed that it is more difficult to breath and it hurts when I try to breath deep.
