Has anyone ever had pain over their right lung that radiates through to the right shoulder blade?
I’ve been getting this pain for a while but it is suddenly worse since yesterday….anyone got any ideas ?

This could be referred pain due to a gall bladder infection. In fact it is THE classical sign of gall bladder problems! I would suggest that you go and see your doctor without delay.
It sounds like a pulled muscle in your right shoulder. Apply a heating pad for a few days and if it doesn’t go away, see a doctor.
Sounds like a bit of trapped wind
drink something fizzy to make you burp
May have strained a muscle… try using a heat pack on the affected area, then ICE immediately after…. if it helps, it is most likely a sprain. If not, hard to tell. In either case it would be wise to see a doc incase something serious
Maybe you got shot & you havent realised?
Pulled muscle in ribcage. You can do it whilst performing any number of mundane tasks. Suggest going for deep tissue massage.
If you’re at all concerned, pop along to your GP, explain the prob, and they will hopefully give you a course of pills that will serve as a muscle relaxant, thereby ridding you of the knot in that area (I had the same after (1) falling off a horse (2) falling down some stairs.
If the prob doesn’t clear up then seek second opinion.
Good luck.
Probably something simple, but see your doc. anyway
Could be frozen shoulder. If it was me, I would be straight down to my doctor.
do you have stomach problems, acid upset, stuff like that? An ulcer in your stomach can cause the type of pain you describe
Sounds like muscle pain. But have a Chest X-ray nonetheless. An infection of the lung can mimic that. TB pleuritis is one.
Could be a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) if you have had an injury (football, car wreck, or impact to your body). They can also be spontaneous with out cause. If you are taking pain releiver and nothing happens to lessen the pain at all, then you might go see the doctor just incase it is more than a pulled muscle.
Try going to the Doctor?
First question is does it hurt when you take a deep breath? There are alot if muscles in your chest area sounds like you may have pulled one of those muscles. If you have been coughing alot that could also be one of the problems. Of course I am no Dr. so if it doesn’t go away go see your physician.
