unfortunately that’s not an easy one! it depends where in your back it is. the most common back pain is at the base of your back and is generally muscular – physio can be beneficial, or try deep heat gel/cream, it heats up the area to provide relief. contrary to popular belief resting isn’t beneficial – continue to exercise, that keeps you supple and stops your back stiffening up and casusing more pain.
Pain in the shoulder blade could be muscular too ir a trapped nerve. it depends on the type of pain you have. you could try anti inflammatories (ibuprofen) which would help in the event of a trapped nerve. best bet for both is go to the doc!
chiropractor!
This really depends. How long have you had the pain? How bad is the pain on a scale of 1-10?
I would definently suggest going to a doctor. Back pain is not normal and should not be ignored.

Hope this helps!
try seeing a chiropractor, find a good one! also u may want to see a physical therapist, they can help strengthen muscles that would help…
I don’t think there is a real "cure" but you could try exersize and a good massage therapist. Massages feel great but in my case nothing has worked better than strengthening my back muscles through exersize.
get a towel and soak it, make sure you ring out the water. put it in the microwave to make the towel warm. then put the towel on the area that hurts. doing this allows the muscles to relax.
As a chiropractic student, if you are having pain in your back or in your shoulder blade region, it could be caused from many things, and knowing what caused the pain is essential to solving your problem. Seeing a chiropractor who can diagnose the cause of your pain can really help and he/she will be able realign your spinal vertebrae, ribs, shoulder blade etc so that the cause of your pain is relieved. Taking pain relievers only masks your pain so that is why the pain comes back afterwards. Pain relievers, when taken for an extensive amount of time, can also breakdown your stomach lining causing ulceration of the stomach. If you ice the area (use an ice pack with a paper towel in bewteen your skin and the pack) for 20 minutes (but no longer, and don’t do more than 1 time per hour) it will reduce the inflammation, relieving the pain temporarily, and unlike the pain relievers, it won’t have negative side effects. There are also a few stretches that might help- put your arms straight up in the air and bend toward the right or the left! If none of this works, it would really be beneficial to see a doctor of chiropractor.
