Hello doctor,My wife has pain in the area below the left shoulder for the past one week. The pain is there even when she deep breathes, moves her left hand, or does any movement. She is a feeding mother, has overweight and had a cesarean delivery a year ago. She had a similar complaint but reduced after rest. But this time it has not reduced. We tried an external application of counter pain and used hot water pack. She suspects sometimes during feeding that she sleeps on one side which is causing this problem. I have attached the image of the area where she has pain. Please help.
Hello. I feel that the pain is coming from the neck and this is a fairly common pain diagram for neck issues. She needs to look at her posture and as she is feeding this is even more important. Also holding the baby may make things worse. See a good physio and do some neck exercises which will help. For more information consult an orthopaedician and traumatologist online  Take care.
