Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe shoulder blade pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis, osteoarthritis , bursitis , tendinitis , torn cartilage , pinched nerves , repetitive use or overuse injury . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order test like CT scan , MRI or physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy and stretching exercises specially trapezius muscle stretching . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to back and shoulder , do not work in on pose for long time , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain,

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
