when I inhale deeply, I feel pain in my right shoulder and I feel like it was connected in my chest.
what is this?

I have been seeing a back and spine pain management DR for 2 or 3 months after my family doctor could do nothing for me. MRI shows no disc problems. Was pricked with needles to test for nerve damage. That was ok. Have had two epidural steroid injections. EKG 6 weeks ago. I have had this problem for 8 months. Pain is mainly in mid back to between shoulder blades left side. shoulder blade will feel uncomfortable feel like it’s going numb. Will also have a pain left side lower rib area the size of a quarter. The pain can really feel concentrated at the spine at times. When really bad it has been known to effect lower left back and hip area. I was taking one medicine that was suppose to help numb the nerves. This worked for a month or so. Stopped working completely so I am now taking Lyrica which is suppose to do the same. Been on it for two days with no ease to my pain. Any ideas?

The pain is more of a discomfort and sometimes goes up to my neck.i always feel the need to take a deep breath.my lungs and heart are clear no problems there.i have had an x ray and an MRI scan which did not bring back anything.

The pain and discomfort sometimes feels like a muscular pain like when you have a stiff neck.

please help because my gp dont know what to do.

I was a passenger in a car about a month ago, when we were in a bad car wreck. the front of our car hit the side of the other person’s car. I had x-rays done on my neck and shoulder area right after it and they found nothing. i also went to see a doctor 2 weeks after it and he took more x-rays..still nothing. He sent me to physical therapy i went 5 times a week for 4 weeks. I went back and he said go back for 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Well its been 6 weeks since i’ve been there now and im in unbareable pain at the moment. How long does it take for physical therapy to help this? Should i get a second opinion? How do i bring up the thought of an MRI to them?
The pain went away during some of the physical therapy.. but this could be because i was sick and all my focus went on that. but now that im no longer sick, the pain went back to its original state.

I have been having a discomforting pain in back in between shoulder blades for a 6 weeks now.I have this pain mostly in the morning when I wake up.Could it be my bed?I had no problems before and I have been sleeping on this bed for ten years.

Yesterday I was walking up some stairs then suddenly I was on the floor in pain my shoulder blade had a pain that felt like I had pulled a muscle so I carryed on the rest of the day following through to the night in pain Then the next morning I woke up my shoulder blade hurt a tad but not much then I went to school that morning and 2nd period I felt a quick shock and it felt like my heart was bursting and I though I was dying lol then I notist it was my shoulder blade playing up again so it came to 4th period and it also happened again so I didn’t have to do much work in that lesson then It came to lunch time and I spoke to one of my mates he said he has had back problems just like me he said it was back spasms and last time he had it he hat to go to hospital.

QUESTION
What is it?
How can I stop it?

Thanks bigmytch

I woke up two mornings ago with a terrible pain between my shoulder blade and spine on the left side of my back. It radiates up my neck, and seems really deep. I have tried a heat pack, but no matter where I place the heat pack, there is still pain! I can’t get it to relax. help! Does anyone have any ideas? Should I see a doctor? (and if so, what kind?)

I AM CURRENTLY 7 MONTHS PREGNANT(28 WEEKS) AND FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS I AM HAVING THIS TERRIBLE SHOULDER PAIN. I CAN MOVE MY ARM WITH NO PROBLEM HOWEVER WHEN I MOVE MY BODY IT KILLS. I SCREAM OUT IN PAIN. I BELIEVE IT’S A PULLED MUSCLE AND I DON’T WANT TO GO TO A DOCTOR IF THAT’S WHAT IT IS AND THEY CANNOT PRESCRIBE A MUSCLE RELAXANT DUE TO MY PREGNANCY. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MAYBE ANYONE HAS HAD THIS DURING PREGNANCY OR IF THERE COULD BE A CONNECTION. NO RUDE ANSWERS PLEASE, JUST REALLY WONDERING WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE BEFORE I CALL THE DR. THANKS

im having extremely bad back pain in between my shoulder blades, maybe a little lower. no matter how i sit or lay it hurts and can barely move without it feeling like im breaking. can anyone tell me what is going on?
