Does A Shoulder Blade Injury Need Treatment?
Hia I m asking advise, about 6weeks ago I fell and thought nothing of it, but now I m aching in my left shoulder blade at the bottom. I m 54 and the only relief I have is when I put my fist against it and lean back on a chair. It is making me miserable and I was wandering what I could have done. Thanking you.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I recommend to do an X-ray of the shoulder to exclude the possibility of a fracture. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
