Hi, I have been getting this sharp pain every now and then to the point where it hurts to breath. The pain is normally in my shoulder blade, but it doesn t happen often. However, I do have greyish blackish spots in my phlegm when I cough it up or even blow my nose. It s gotten to the point where sometimes phlegm will just come up on it s own in the middle of me talking, I don t have to cough or anything. This happens on a regular basis. Does anyone know what this could be? I have a Dr. Appt on Tuesday.
Hello, As per your history, it may be due muscle with. For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Do regular physical therapy. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help. In case of not getting relief, you may require MRI back after consultation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
