Pain Near Right Shoulder Blade. On Humira For Psoriatic Arthritis. What Could Be Causing The Pain?
Wow, I didn t realize I would get to ask a doctor a real question. I have pretty constant pain right next to my right shoulder blade. Inhaling more deeply and some movements make the pain worse. I ve tried having my husband massage the area and there are some definite tender spots, but nothing helps make it better and it seems to be getting worse. This started completely out of the blue 3 days ago. I should also mention that I am currently being treated for psoriatic arthritis with Humira, gastroparesis (but can no longer take Reglan to help with digestion due to serious side effects) and have developed the first stages of chronic kidney disease--last GFR was 51. My Neprologist thinks this was probably caused by taking methatrexate, volterran and advil over the years and being dehydrated on really bad days when my stomach doesn t want to digest anything and I stay sick all day.
Hi Dear Welcome to the HCM, You have developed muscular spasm in that area.Any movement of muscle fibers are causing pain. Gentle massage with some counterirritants gel/cream along with some muscle relaxant medicine will relieve the symptoms in 2-3 days. Analgesic may be taken for 3-4 days. Physiotherapy will also help. Hope the query is answered. Thanks
