Schoulder and rib pain - #10286
Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing pain in my shoulder and around my ribs for a few weeks. The pain sometimes gets worse when I lift my arm, twist my torso, or take deep breaths. At times it feels like a sharp twinge near my shoulder blade or rib cage. I do not recall any major injury, but I do some daily activities that involve lifting and stretching. Could you please advise what might be causing this, if it needs urgent attention, and what exercises or treatments I can safely do to relieve the pain? Thank you very much for your guidance!
