The patient may experience pain in the left shoulder and back, which could be caused by exposure to cold or muscle strain. If the patient develops back muscle pain, symptoms can be alleviated through heat application or massage. Additionally, the patient should avoid heavy physical labor and ensure adequate rest. In daily life, the patient should consume nutrient-rich foods, particularly those high in calcium.
