Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation Under Left Shoulder Blade
Question: I am having burning sensation under left shoulder blade/back; medium pain that changes through the range of motion since 2 months.It goes down in the bicep and tricep area till the outer part of chest on left side. Also goes up in the neck on left side till below the left ear. Back massage left side at trigger points relieves the pain in all areas instantly for sometime but the pain comes back later and is more frequent now. The pain is felt more only when the body is not in motion.
Brief Answer:
Cervical spine condition should be evaluated further.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, besides muscles of your left shoulder injury or strain as a possible condition, since symptoms are going on for months, neck conditions such degenerative cervical spine disease or herniated disc disease, should be evaluated further.
There is need for a neurological evaluation and cervical spine MRI in order to achieve the correct diagnosis.
Treatment depends on the diagnosis.
You can discuss with your primary care Doctor about these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
