What Causes Shoulder Pain With A History Of Degenerative Disc And Arthritis?
I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc and arthritis back in August. A few weeks ago I had a sinus infection for which I got a steroid shot and a zpack. For the past few days, I have had a soreness in the front of my right shoulder, right beneath my collarbone and above my right breast. I have been a smoker now for over 20 years and my quit date is this Saturday. Could the disc and arthritis be causing this soreness? This is the first time the front has ached, it was usually my right arm aching and tingling. On no medication but family history of diabetes.
