A member asked:
I have a sharp pain near my left shoulder blade and i have been coughing up blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemoptysis : Coughing up blood can often be benign. However, when present in association with pain in the shoulder blade, a more serious cause needs to be evaluated for. The pain in the shoulder blade is likely referred pain (viscerosomatic) from the lungs or its lining. Please consult a doctor very soon.
