Could Intermittent Sharp Pain In Shoulder Blade Be Due To Gas Bubble?
I am not sure if it is a gas bubble under my shoulder blade but it hurts a lot. the pain seems to come and go, like in the morning when i wake up the pain starts and it keeps on increasing in the afternoon so much that I can t sit during my class hours.I feel better at night time that is when I go to sleep, at that time the pain vanishes sometimes when I bend then the pain comes back sometimes I feel the pain to be travelling around my back that is from left to right and sometimes very rarely i feel the pain in the neck. please suggest what I should do and what exactly is causing this pain. thank you.

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the issue of sharp pain in shoulder blade after abdomen discomfort do indicate possible irritation of phrenic nerve and its sequences.
- Gall bladder conditions
- Liver pathology or inflammation
- Diaphragm conditions and disorders
- Lower lobe lung problems
- Others
However, if any details of investigations are available with you, kindly share with me during follow up discussion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
