Suggest Treatment For Pain Under The Shoulder Blade
I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and scholiosis a year ago. I went through physical thereapy and felt better afterwards. I continue to stretch my back neck and legs almost daily. Recently my back under my left shoulder blade has become very tight and sore. My back and neck feel exhausted like they never get a break. I cant move my head forward without a lot of pain under my shoulder blade. Im a 30 year old male, a little overweight, but active: I walk my dog daily and play drums often. Is there anything I can do to keep this from getting worse?

JYou must continue your physiotherapy and on case it does not get relieved add a regular pain killer. If it still doesn work you may need nerve blocks for which you shall visit a pain specialist in your area.
