How Can Persistent Left- Sided Shoulder Pain Be Managed?
Hi, I have had pain under my left shoulder blade that is getting worse over the last two weeks. There doesn t seem to be a knot. It hurts while sitting stationary and wakes me up at night. 800 milligrams barely takes the edge off. Sometimes the pain goes up to my ear, under my arm, around to my chest muscle and sometimes down through my elbow to my fingers. I try to stretch the area as well but it only hurts more. I was thinking of making a doctor s appointment but was wondering if there is something I can do at home to help as not to incur medical bills. Thank You, Trace
