What Causes Sharp Pain Under Right Shoulder While Taking Deep Breaths?

After laying on my right side for about 30 minutes I experienced pain under my right shoulder (around the antero-medial border of the humeral head) which produces sharper pain when I attempt to take a deep breath. During the same incident I had subluxed a lower rib which my chiropractor successfully re-located and this pain is now gone, but the shoulder region pain persists. It gets worse when I lie flat on my back or attempt to lie on the right side. At its worst, it also refers down into the ribs just below my armpit and around the breast area. I can move my right arm in all directions without pain, but my right clavicle is lower than my left by ~ 1/4 . What have I done and how can i fix this myself?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your shoulder pain remains an enigma, as nobody has examined and investigated, there are many causes of shoulder pain, and getting an MRI after thorough clinical examinaton.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
