Referred Pain
March 6, 2008 Posted by
Deep pains within the body organs tend always to be referred to the surface structures within the similar and corresponding spinal segment. In the case of pain from the heart muscle, these nerve impulses refer such pain
primarily to the chest wall overlying the heart. Sometimes this extends up to the shoulder and the neck, most commonly on the left side. Pain from the rectum, prostate or female organs is usually referred into the low back. Sometime the back of the neck is involved in the referral from pain in the sinus region. Since a similar nerve innervates the shoulder and the diaphragm,
irritation under the diaphragm as in a liver or gallbladder condition, or upper abdominal abscesses can be felt near the shoulder blade.
