A lumbar puncture is not typically performed for a nerve problem in the shoulder. It is used to collect cerebrospinal fluid from the lower back for diagnostic purposes related to conditions like infections, multiple sclerosis, or certain neurological disorders. For a shoulder nerve problem, imaging studies like MRI or nerve conduction tests would be more appropriate.

How would you describe a wound that is on the left front chest close to the shoulder socket?
The wound on the left front chest, near the shoulder socket, may present as a laceration or puncture, depending on its nature. It could potentially involve underlying tissues, such as muscle or even the pleura, depending on its depth. Signs of inflammation, such as redness or swelling, may be evident, and there could be concern for potential complications given its proximity to vital structures. Immediate medical evaluation would be necessary to assess the extent of the injury and to initiate appropriate treatment.

What does No fluid in spinal cord during lumbar puncture indicate?
I doubt there would be NO fluid in the spinal cord, but very often physicians cannot tap the spinal cord to obtain fluid, sometimes, they just cannot get in. In cases like this, they will often send the person to radiology for a CT assisted lumbar puncture There is a condition called dry tap, that is when no fluid drained out while lumbar puncture is performed. Fluid thickening due to inflammatory process (called arachnoiditis) may be one of its causes (because it thickens, it cannot pass the syringe)

Where in the vertebral column is a lumbar puncture generally done and why is it the site of choice?
Counting from the top of the lumbar vertebrae, the lumbar puncture is usually done between L3&L4 or between L4&L5. The reason for the choice is because the spinal cord ends with the Cauda Equina (essentially horse hair or horse tail) somewhere around L1 or L2. At this point one no longer has a spinal cord, but rather separate nerves. So, above L1, there would be a significant risk of sticking the needle into the solid spinal cord causing pain and damage. Below L3 the individual nerves will move out of the way of the needle and there is less risk of hitting the spinal cord.
