Many muscles of the shoulder girdle help move the arm (suprapinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis) as well as chest wall and back muscles (biceps, triceps, pectoralis, teres major, trapezius). It is hard to differentiate musculoskeletal and breast tissue pain. An examination and routine breast mammogram can determine the cause.
