Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Blade Pain
I have been having an aching pain inbetween my shoulder blades. The pain has recently started to travel up my neck and is getting very uncomfortable. Just a constant soreness. I have found relief in taking deep breaths. These deep breaths tend to make a popping/grinding sound inbetween my shoulder blades which feel good to me and help with the pain. I know I shouldn t be doing this but it seems to be the only thing that works.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Shoulder blade pain can be related to muscle pain.
I suggest:
-Rest your shoulder blade from activity.
If your pain worsens when you do certain movements or physical activities, such as household chores or exercise, rest for a day or two.
-Apply ice and/or heat.
Take over-the-counter medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
-Massage the area for relieve
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
