Suggest treatment for upper chest pain
Patient: Hello , Im 30 year old african american woman, and have been having alot of pain and problems with the left side upper chest. I recently found outi have a bone spur in my left shoulder and the doctors though that was causing the pain. however the pain is not in my shoulder its like a burning sensation on the top of my chest . like the musceles are tight Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Bone spur can cause muscle irritation and muscular pain. So better to avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected site. If you are not improving by all these then you need surgical removal of this bone spur. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
