A member asked:

Frozen shoulder on left side. feeling chest pain & lightheaded at times. tests done on heart & was all fine. can frozen shoulder be causing referred pain to the chest and also causing the lightheaded by affecting perhaps neck muscles/nerves?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammatory conditions of the shoulder joint can cause chest or rib cage discomfort. A frozen shoulder may cause you to stress rib cage structures with certain maneuvers. However, having seen many patients with shoulder pathology I haven't seen chest discomfort or lightheadedness as an accompanying complaint. For this reason,I recommend having a complete checkup including lab work by your MD.
