Hello I have pain on my left shoulderbladder after swallowing food or even drinking liquid. It is there for 4 months and did not go away. My heart and lungs are checked and i also had mr for my neck and back and i I have 2 hernias on the neck and says are pressure to certain neural elements on the left. I also saw a GI but when i saw the doctor i hade additional symptoms like the food stucking on the chest and throat feeling . But they went away 1 week later. All i have now is the pain on my left shoulder blade after swallowing . My left shoulder blade actually hurts in day time but aster swallowing the pain makes it self feel more intensive. Many thanks for your answer .
Hello, There would be many causes for shoulder blade pain, but if it occurs specifically after eating it indicates more towards radiating pain rather than musculoskeletal pain. Radiating pain may emanates from visceral organs' pathology like lung pathology including pleuritic, heart pathology like infarction or myocarditispancreatitis, pancreatic duct Lithuania, HERD or involvement of diaphragm or spleen. But since it occurs specifically after eating diagnosis goes more in favor of stomach or pancreatic pathology. You need to have an ultrasonography whole abdomen done along with a chest x-ray pa view. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
