I'm experiencing a sharp pain near my left shoulder every time I take a deep breath. I tried using a pain-killing spray, but it didn't seem to help. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I can do to relieve the pain?

Could be due to inflammation of the muscles or tissues in that area. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical anti-inflammatory gel like diclofenac (e.g., Voltaren) to the affected area can also help. Make sure to rest the affected shoulder and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?
A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.
