What causes Left Shoulder blade pain that effects the arm??

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_causes_Left_Shoulder_blade_pain_that_effects_the_arm

A heart attack can cause those symptoms. Assuming that this is not the case it would most likely be a pinched nerve in the neck or mid back or a rotator cuff problem among other things. See you doc.

severe shoulder pain?

Q: hi, i know that in the begining of pregnancy shoulder pain can indicate an ectopic pregnancy and major problems.but i’m 35 weeks pregnant and for the past month or so i have had a very sore pain in my left shoulder, like around the shoulder blade area.i was concered and saw a doctor who advised it just was a muscular pain and would go away but this was 3 weeks ago and the pain is still as bad if not worse.i have my docs tomorrow again and i will ask about it but i was just wondering, if anyone else has experienced this, could it just be a nerve or something ?

A: lets try to answer this. a nerve pain would not just be one area. like your “shoulder blade”. the nerves in that area would run the length of one arm totally to the finger u would have pains. as far as the left side, worst case scenario could be a heart attack, but unless u have severe pain, shortness of breath, sweating, dizzizness, nausea, and just general bad bad sick feeling…. its probably not a heart attack.is there anything u could have done to exersice that area overly? carring a purse too long on that side all day…. or picking something up on that side…. or sleeping funny?if there’s a yes there it would sound muscular to me.

I am having pain in my left neck, shoulder and arm.?

Q: I am 30 yr old female. I am having pain in my left neck, shoulder and arm. I might of slept on it wrong. It just started occurring around 1 PM today (It’s 3:30 PM now). It’s Friday so my doctor’s office is already closed for the weekend. I was just wondering if I should be worried yet or should I look for any other signs that might indicate something more serious. Thank you!The Left side of my neck. I took two aleve about an hour ago… It hasn’t helped much.

A: Hey Amandaat your age, it should not be a problem. If you are overweight, had any previous similar symptoms or if you get tired and breathless while walking or physical work, then you might have to take it a little seriously.If you have no problems with Aspirin, take one now and chew it down. If the pain persists , i would advice you to go to the nearest hospital.Please don’t worry much, stay alert and cool. Don’t drive or exert yourself.Bye.
