For the past few days I have been experiencing left shoulder blade pain. The pain is directly under my left shoulder blade and sometimes radiates around my ribs to under my left breast. I have no pain when moving my arm or shoulder. The pain is relieved with heat and pain relievers but comes back again within hours. The pain has started to keep me awake at night. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? I am a 42 year old female.

I am a 48 year old guy (almost 49) and my shoulders always hurt. I do stretches everyday, work out 4 or 5 times a week, but nothing seems to stop my shoulders from hurting. Is this because I am getting older and aches and pains are to be expected? The left shoulder hurts unbelievably if I do not lift for few days, then after the first few reps, the pain almost goes away? I could just be loosing my mind, who knows!
