have a very sharp pain in the shoulder blade area. Actually feels like its under my shoulder blade towards the bottom. I m not able to put any kind of weight on that arm without the sharp pains and taking any type of deep breath causes tears to my eyes out of pain. I m a housekeeper at a hotel so i use my arms at all times lifting and such, and I ve had problems with my same shoulder before but never in this spot. Was always higher up and closer to the spine. What could be causing this?
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you, By understanding your symptoms of pain, I feel it is more of the interscapular muscle spasm. There is an inflammation in the shoulder blade area. Also, as you job profile demands more of the use of the scapular muscles for physical activity I am to suspect this. By taking a gradual myofascial release with ultrasound and TENS therapy your pain level will Chat Doctor.  For this a physical therapist will help you better. Also, later stages strengthening the muscles will be needed to avoid the stress on the muscles to get same pain again. I have personally clinically seen patients with similar complaints. 99% recovery is achieved by physical therapy. RegardsJay In
