Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder Blade

The cause of the pain needs investigation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I know that your main concern must be to relieve the pain, but a pain of this intensity definitely needs investigation. Does it relate to the movements of your body or arm? Does it relate to the respiratory movements?
Potential causes may include:
- various orthopedic causes (like muscle sprain)
- herpes zoster even if no skin lesions are visible
- lung problems (like pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, pleuritis etc)
- heart and blood vessel problems (like myocardial infarction, pericarditis, etc)
Regarding pain relief, you may add paracetamol (acetaminophen) to the regimen and perhaps use more tramadol but the investigation is more important.
I hope I've helped!
Contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!


sounds like an orthopedic problem
Detailed Answer:
The location of the pain and its relation to movement points to an orthopedic cause. If it were lower, it could have been the kidney (renal colic). Anyway, investigation is needed. Until then, do not take any more ibuprofen. Try some paracetamol and if it's not helping, you can use some more tramadol. Beware of the nausea the opioids may cause.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
