Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you in this.

As you have pain in upper back under shoulder blade , and you have done painting. This is due to overwork of that muscle which gives you a pain.Due to overwork muscle strain occur.
I suggest you to take rest for few days. Use hot water for it. Also take tab Dan P for pain. Do not rub over that side. Give rest to the muscle and you will be fine in few days.

If symptom not resolve than consult good orthopedic surgeon for this.
Thanks and Regards.
