Suggest Treatment For Severe Shoulder Blade Pain And Chest Pain
I have a severe pain in my left shoulder blade and it seems to go through my body to my left chest area. I also have some pain in my left arm, but not severe. I have had this on and off for about a week and a half. It seems to get better and then returns very severe.
Chest pain radiating to the arm and involving shoulder needs to be checked up for Angina or prodrome of heart attack. You should get seen by a Doctor as soon as possible, especially if you have shortness of breath as well. Other cause can be shoulder rotator cuff disorder and nerve pinching in the neck. Avoid bending forward and lifting weights. Take pain killers. Consult your Doctor as soon as possible.
