Rotator cuff: Tear might be the issue or at least damage to the tendon. I would see an Orthopaedic doc and have them eval further with exam, MRI and possibly cortisone injection.

Im having problems drawing in deep breaths when I sneeze - the right side rib area feels bruised under my shoulder blade. I checked for a bruise and found a largish light pink mole, surrounded by a white patch instead. Could this be connected?
