Suggest Remedy For Pain In Shoulders And Under The Breasts

Yes, thank you. A week ago I was showing off in front of my grandchildren on a trampoline. I should tell you I had not been on a trampoline in 50 years, I am 65. On my first move, going from jumping (kind of high in the air) to a sitting position, I fell backward on my shoulder blades. I was in pain, but it subsided with Motrin. Several days later, after flying to do some consulting work at a University in Virginia, I awoke with stabbing pain from my breastbone on my left side, under my breast, to and including my left shoulder. I could not take a deep breath without considerable pain. I went to an Urgent Care where they put me in an ambulance and sent me to the hospital with a suspected blood clot. After Blood Tests, Chest X-Ray, EKG, and CT Scan with contrast everything checked out normally. They sent me home with the diagnosis of a skeletal muscular injury and the drug HYDROCODON-ACETAMINOPHEN 5-325 It is now 10 days later, and I am still experiencing some pain including during deep breaths. It has gotten better and I am taking the meds with less frequency, but I want to know if I should be concerned or just buck up like a good old soldier. Thanks. Marsha Herman-Betzen

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, as the EKG is normal , there is not much concerned with major default. However, the regular follow up with your consultant is mandatory and if at all symptoms do persist, one may have to undertake:
- Stress EKG
- Stress Echo
- Coronary angiography
- Others

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
