What Does A Lump On The Left Shoulder Along With Chest Pain Indicate?
I slept all night on my side with my left arm behind my head. I woke up and I had a large knot in the middle of my left shoulder blade. It is hard to look down and turn my head. Also, since I have noticed my back pain, I have noticed a little pain in my chest on the left side. Could the chest pain be from sleeping on my arm as well?

Hello,
Knot over shoulder blade seems soft tissue swelling which may be noticed accidentally, not related to sleeping over arm.
The chest pain and back pain likely to be positional; which will be covered with analgesic spray and medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
