A member asked:
I have a pain in my shoulder when i breathe - could it be related to pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Pain in shoulder on taking a deep breath is usually indicative of irritation of the nerves of the diaphragm which causes referred pain in the shoulder. This can be further evaluated by detailed exam, chest x-ray and (if needed) ct scan of the chest. Talk to your doctor about yr symptoms.
