Have Burning Sensation Between Shoulder Blades. What Could It Be?
I'm a 52 y/o female. 5'5 175 lbs I have a history of hypertension I been having a burning sensation between my shoulder blades, with pain that radiates down my left arm. I recently had a stress test which came back good. I take Aleve for the pain. The last 3 days the burning is now a itching. today I noticed a rash, little bumps that looks like pimples. The Aleve helps the pain however every morning the same burning starts right when I get up. This started approx. 3 weeks ago.
Based on the description of symptoms,(presence of burning pain in the dorsal spine region, rash and tiny bumps) I suspect that you could be affected by Herpes infection.
I suggest you to consult a Neurophysician for a detailed examination and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
