Severe Pain And Swelling In The Shoulder, Weakness In The Arm. Pain While Breathing. What Is Wrong?
hi,
I am 30 years old. 2 days ago I had severe pain on my left shoulder, and the following day it was swelling. I feel weakness on my left arm, I couldn't carry heavy things using my left arm. If I breathe deeply I feel the pain on my left upper back. I also feel my body is very week. Its been the third time that happened to me. Please let me know what's wrong with me. Thank you.
