Burning in shoulder

Burning in shoulder

I have a torn rotator cuff and just started therapy.  Today I started experiencing a burning sensation in the same shoulder but higher up  than my tear.  Is this something to be concerned about or is it typical.  I am also having pain in my ribs on my left side.  I do not remember doing anything to my ribs or chest area.  I am a 63 year old male.

Rib pain and shoulder pain (due to rotator injury) are different.
What you are having now is intercostal neuralgia.

gabapentine or Pregabalin with Methylcobalamine will surely help you for the rib pain.
Are you a diabetic also?
