I've been feeling a sharp pin-like pain on the left side of my chest, close to my armpit, and it's moving towards my shoulder blade. I've been dealing with cervical spondylosis, so I'm not sure if it's related to that. This started yesterday and happened before, but usually, it goes away in a few hours. This time it's been almost a day and it's still bothering me. I'm also noticing a burning sensation in my throat. What do you think might be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your cervical spondylosis. The pain traveling from your left side of the chest near the armpit to your shoulder blade could be due to nerve compression or irritation in the cervical spine. The burning feeling in your throat may be related to acid reflux or irritation of the esophagus. To help with the pain and burning sensation, you can take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen. I recommend taking ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can try using a heating pad on the affected area to help relax the muscles and alleviate discomfort. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management of your cervical spondylosis and associated symptoms.
