If you are left handed and you carry your child so often, you probably make the right diagnosis. Strained or pulled muscle is likely the cause if the discomfort is exacerbated with physical activity which involves the muscles in that area.

Two days ago, I did a workout, that was strenuous but did not practice it for 1 year. My muscles are sore, and I understand the reason why. But I feel a burning sensation that had not disappeared on my left arm and left bottom chest?
