What Are The Shoulder Symptoms To Look Out For In Metastases Of Liver?

I had stage III breast cancer, HER2+, ER/PR+. Diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago. I have been having a burning pain in or under my right shoulder blade for a couple of weeks. How would I know if I should worry about metastases of the liver? What kind of shoulder blade pain would this give?

Liver metastasis rarely gives pain under shoulder blade. It follows abdominal pain loss of apettite and tenderness etc.
Get a whole body bone scintigraphy scan done and a liver function test to evaluate further.
