Hello,
I would explain that the numbness in your shoulder does not seem to be related to the swollen duct cells in your breast. Nevertheless, I recommend performing a breast ultrasound and checking prolactine levels. Regarding the numbness in the shoulder, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study or CT scan, in order to investigate for a possible bulging disc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
