Bad Sharp Pain In Back And Ribs Starting From Shoulders Going To Ribs In Front, Difficulty To Lift Arms Or Move At Night. Help
I have bad sharp pains in my back and ribs. They start between my shoulder blades and radiat all the way around my ribs to the front. It usually is fine all day long once I get going, but when I go to bed it will usually wake me up after about 3 or 4 hours. I have to get up and I can barely move or lift my arms up to hit snooze.

Hi, it appears that you have gastric irritation, refered to the back,or there may be gallstones, So i advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have gastroscopy, and M.R.I. for diagnosis.
