Suggest Treatment For Burning Pain In Shoulder Blade
I have a burning ache under my left shoulder blade, between the shoulder blade and spinal region. It is made worse by prolonged standing and is similiar to the pain I would feel on active duty during road hikes when I would carry excessive weight on my back for miles?

it may be due to overuse of the romboid muscles. avoid excessive carrying on your back and try stretching it:bend your chest toward while sitting with straight legs bringing your hands touching your feet for 1 min, then stretch to the opposite side each arm, keeping it on the chest with the other hand. repeat this twoce a day for 10 days if you find a bump/knot/hard part of your back muscles, you have a contracture: keep it warm with hot showers and warm wearing, in case take myorelaxong drugs (as sirdalud) once a day before sleeping for 7 days
