Having Burning Sensation On Shoulder, Noticed Darkening. What Could This Be?
Question: Yes... I have a burning sensation under my right shoulder blade and now I've noticed a slight darkening or bruising of that area. Now I have been moving furniture as of late.... but I'm worried. The slight discomfort started about a week ago, and is getting worse. Going to doctor today at 2 but thought I'd check with you also. It almost feels like what I've heard described as shingles... but I had the shingles vaccine a couple of years ago
Hello,
I have read complete details of your question. However you can help with extra information that I need to understand it better.
-How long you had observed these bruises?
-Did you injure that area?
- Is moving the furniture increasing the pain? Did you observe if anything reduces the pain or suffering?
- Do you have associated neck pain, are you able to move the neck?
The chance of it being shingles is rare.
Please reply.
