Pain neck to shoulder blade
Common Questions and Answers about Pain neck to shoulder blade
pain
One lady told me that her mother had left sided shoulder blade pain for 4-5 years and it turned out to be her gallbladder. Then one other customer said his neice had that same pain and it was Hodgkins disease, he kept talking about a lymph node, but I don't think you have lymph nodes in your shoulder blade do you?? (he might have meant clavicle, he kept saying scapula)...
In the beginning, the left side of my neck would hurt from my shoulder blade on up to my neck. Now my left shoulder around the rotator cuff hurts. I can lay on my back as the pressure of my bed against my shoulder blade just makes everything ache more. My neck has calmed down and no longer hurts due to this just that darn shoulder blade and around that area and my left shoulder. I'm not much of one to go to drs and I've tried researching this on my own.
The thing I can not understand is I have little to no pain in my neck. I do however have tremendous pain in my right shoulder blade and down my right arm into my hand. This has been going on for about 3 months and when I cough I have sharp pain in my shouder blade. Is this a normal sensation for a compressed nerve?
Sometimes the pain radiates down my right arm into my pinky and also seems to go straight through my shoulder blade to the front of my chest. I have seen a chiropractor for it once before but stopped going due to lack of insurance and money to pay for it. She never gave me a diagnosis but she did say that the x-rays showed that I had a degenerative disease where I have "extra" ribs in my neck where they started forming and shouldn't have.
Sorry for the long title however, I am having pain that I feel orginates in the right shoulder blade, feels like a horrible spasms that goes up to the neck, to the shoulder joint and to the back of the rib. I have been treated by a chiropractor and his latest concern is that is not getting better. I told him that I had quite a few xrays over the past 7 years cause I have had this pain and it is not getting better. It also seems to get worse with my hormonal changes. I am 45 years old.
Went to phisio, which helped with the initial horrible pain, but now I still have shoulder and upper shoulder blade pain, and also neck pain, occasionally along with it.There are times when the pain is still felt in my chest as well, although numerous trips to the hospital has assured me that mu heart is fine.(still a very scary feeling!)I also occasionally have a numbness in my left arm. Please help with suggestions!!! I've had an MRI done on my neck, and that was fine too.
I have the same pain in the same area. I have disc herniations in my neck that cause the shoulder blade pain as well as the radiation to the left arm. I would be shocked if the Dr's never considered this as the cause of your pain. Just a suggestion and would be worth asking your doc about it. Hope you figure it all out. Good luck!

I am having bad pain in my left shoulder blade, muscle spams, very tight, burning, burning to my neck, can't breath deep, pushed to my heart. The doctors are dismissing what's going on and not sending me for further test. I have been suffering for a while and can't live with this pain anymore.
Could you please recommend what other test I can do for my shoulder blade neck area? Thankyou so much.
Shoulder blade or scapula pain must be evaluated to make sure that the shoulder itself and other parts of the body are not involved. Referred pain from other areas such as the gall bladder, heart, aorta, fallopian tubes, abdominal organs, diaphragm, and lungs should be ruled out. Muscle strain/spasm, tendon and soft tissue issues including the rotator cuff and bursa should also be considered.
Hello,
I'm a man who's 22 this year and I'm having persistent issues with my neck. The original injury happened 2 years ago, when I was sparring with a friend. While we were grappling, I rolled the wrong way and ended up twisting my neck really bad. The injury took about 2 weeks to heal, and during the initial stages of the injury I couldn't turn my head at all without feeling acute pain.
Told me to stop worrying and give it time.I also have short stabbing pain in my spine from under the shoulder blade to top of neck. This comes and goes. I have been kind of stressed out the last couple of months. Should also add that I feel great in myself apart from this horrible pain. It is now aching across the very top of my shoulders on both sides as I am writing this on the computer. Please someone give me an answer. Im really worried.
Pain around my bottom of shoulder blade for over 6 months. Stiff upon waking up, some days it goes away but most days it stays. Sitting up, without back support, can be a pain. Laying down or laying propped up, hurts. Let me give an example: I can be propped up, reading a book, holding a book in my left hand, puts me in so much pain in this area. When I turn my back from side to side, it hurts. I do get a lot of muscle strains in this area as well. The pain is always there.
Hello- I've been having a nagging pain in my neck and shoulder blade( mostly on the left shoulder blade) for several months now. I have always thought it is either my mattress or pillow that's causing it and have changed several to no sucess. I went to a orthopedician last year and he made me do a bunch of hand/leg movements and also took xrays, which were all normal. He suggested I get an MRI (which I didnt get, since I wasnt very happy with the doctor).

That night I felt most of the pain in the entire right side of my face, neck, and shoulder blade area. All of the muscles in my back on the right side started swelling and spasming. I ended up going to the hospital that night but before I left my girlfriend saw that my right shoulder blade was "out of place" being way to close to my rib cage and as she gently pushed it back I felt a wave of relief (or pleasure?) before it would start moving out of place again.
