RE: Referred Pain : A Glitch in the human Nervous System?

Awesome breakdown!

I actually diagnosed someone with diaphragmatic irritation the other day because of just this! Sharp pain in the tip of the shoulder, but with no shoulder abnormalities!

(He turned out fine :) )

Thanks @tfcoates :).
Yeah, its a very handy tool for diagnosis of many diseases.Not knowing this can lead to wrong dx too.
BTW what was the cause of diaphragmatic irritation, Gallbladder/liver problem?

A small atelectasis post PE... But the pain was the only problem. Sats fine and recovered after 2 days!
