My left shoulder started hurting a little while ago. It is getting more painful by the minute. I am concerned about possible connection with such pain and the heart. I heard once that if a particular are hurts, it can be a symptom of a heart attack but i cant remember which arm
hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you As the pain is located only at the shoudler joints I feel it is more of a muscular issue. Also for a safety case Cardiac assessment can be done.Post which if the cardiac assessment is negative than you may have to undergo physical therapy for further management Physical therapy includes - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises In my clinical practice most cases respond well to physical therapy Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
