Question
Hi. my name is shauna and i have been wondering why i get this weird pain in my shoulder and chest. im 16 now but when i was in 3rd grade i fell off a car and landed on my left shoulder. after awile we whent to the doctors and he said i fracured it. that the bone was heald alittle over the other one somethin like that. But now that im older i notised that when i run mostly in the cold i get realy bad shoulder pain and goes alittle into the chest. The main one though is weird. When i have to go pee and not evan that bad sometimes my shoulder starts to hurt and goes through my cheast and this is very painfull and hurts my breathing to sometimes. when i move it hurts evan more. sometimes when i lie down or try to get up during it it will increase the pain alot more too. but then when i go pee it will go away most of the time but sometimes it wont and will last a long time. it acualy last awile before going away. this dosnt happen like everyday but it happens often and i just want to know what it is. I was hopeing i dont have some kind of blader infection but that wold be weird to hurt your shoulder though. it hasnt happen for awile so now im just waiting for it.  Please tell me soon if you know what it is. thanks.

Hi Shauna,

First off I have to wonder what kind of parents would let their child run around with an overlapped arm fracture without getting it diagnosed and x-rayed. Second, this problem should be looked at in person by a physician in person, not a doctor on the Internet. I get the feeling money is an issue for you or your parents, either way, there are facilities that will see you without financial burden. Let me know what is going on and I can advise you with more precision. You can e-mail me or call.

It may be both an infection and issues arising from the old fracture, I need more information to tell for sure. If you would like this information to remain private, as it should, I recommend contacting me.


Let me know what you need and I will try to arrange professional help.

Take Care!
