Dull And Shooting Pain In Right Lung, Neck Pain And Pain Under Shoulder Blade While Inhaling Deeply. What Should I Do?
Hello. I woke up two days ago and I noticed I was having a dull but shooting pain in my right lung/inner chest/under my shoulder blade when I would inhale deeply. It is now two days later and I've been having neck pain and pain under my shoulder blade and now pain in my ribs, all on the right side. Still hurts to inhale deeply. What is causing this and what should I do?
