How can I get rid of the pain in my shoulder blade?

I have this horrible pain in my shoulder blade. It’s a little lower than the shoulder blade and there seems to be a ball formed around there. The pain shoots up towards my neck and even travels towards behind my right eye. I think it may be a pinched nerve. I try massaging it and it gets rid of some pain but it doesn’t get rid of that ball.

Here is a good muscle release for your back as well as your neck, you may need that one as well. Do the back one first. When you are done with them if you still have a problem with the ball, have someone press directly onto it for thirty seconds. then lean forward some so there is a stretch on the muscles in that area. Release the pressure but hold your new position for another 30 seconds. Here are the methods of release:
For your neck:
place your hand alongside your head and push your thumb in under your ear and place it on the muscle there. Take your fingers and place them on the back of your neck on the muscles there. Press them together and hold a good amount of pressure on them. Then relax, take a deep breath an happening, the muscle going limp under the pressure. Continue to hold until the entire muscle has gone limp.
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg or even over it if you can, the more over the better it is. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
Stretch the muscle for about 2 minutes straight, by alternating stretching your back forward and backward, 2 minutes each. Keep repeating this until the pain is gone. When you’re stretching, keep your mind thinking about the exact spot imagine you’re stretching it further and further, and adjust your posture so the stretch hits the exact muscle inflamed. Also advil will help.
