Shoulder pain killing me

[ChrisDude183]

Ok so I've been to the doctor twice and I'm pretty certain I'm being misdiagnosed. First she said there was a little swelling in my shooulder that woukd go away, now she's saying frozen shoulder.
Problem is, I can't move or sleep, woke up today because Sharp pains in shoulder blade and pectoral muscles when I breath too much. Constant debilitating pain when off my naproxen, only pain when I move or breathe when on it.
So 2 part question. #1 why is my doctor ignoring the fact that my rotator cuff is probably shot. And also, is it normal for these things to get so bad you can't breathe? Really worried the problem might be even worse.
Also, I've had collapsed lung before and it's definitely not that. Also, no injury caused this, just repeated movement from work and i woke up one day and couldn't move.
Thanks

It cannot be helped, lol!
You're assuming the worse, which is understandably reasonable, like you might have something incurable or you might even die.
The stabbing pains, the inability to breathe freely, the fear to move certain ways.

Sounds like pleurisy to me, which is an infection/inflammation of the pleura affecting chest, lung and shoulder areas and it can easily be confused with frozen shoulder. It is possible though that these 2 conditions could also be simultaneously present.

It may feel worse with deeper breathing and certain movements.
Pleurisy usually lasts up to two weeks and since it is caused mostly by a viral infection, antibiotics wouldn't help, unless it's a bacterial infection.
In certain cases, excess fluid in the pleural cavity may have to be drained with the use of a tube.

I had 2 bouts of pleurisy in the past and in both cases
after doing several applications of DMSO (over freshly washed skin and in thin layers) and Reiki -I am a Reiki Master- it resolved in both instances within 2-3 days.

You may need to revisit the doctor, should the symptoms persist or  worsen.

Best wishes,
