Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Back And Shoulder Blade
I am experiencing a pain in my back mostly on my right side but it moves to the left a good bit too. It started on Friday after work and is still there. I sit in an office chair most of the day and it feels like someone has beat me up in a fight. I do not have a fever, any sign of nauseous and the pain is not bad just very annoying. At the moment it is in my upper middle back and right shoulder blade. through out the day it is towards my middle and lower. It does not get an worse after eating.

Hi,
It seems you are engaged in a continuous desk job with probably computer work/writing on a desk. in such condition.
There is continuous stress to your back & right hand/shoulder. Sometimes an awkward height of the table & chair creates more stress to back.
A shoulder joint involvement, stress to scapular muscles or stress to cervical spine can cause the pain to inform of joint pain/muscle pain/neurogenic pain due to spondylitis.
You need a detailed examination by an orthopaedic surgeon &needful imaging investigation to come to the cause followed by cause-specific treatment. Please consult an orthopaedic doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
