What Causes A Sharp Pain In The Back On The Right Side?
I’ve been experiencing a a sharp pain in my back, right side just below my shoulder blade. It’s pretty steady and started 2 days ago. I’ve had it before but never as painful as this time. I’ve had no trauma or any type of injury. Thanks for reading, Chris YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Most probably it is due to spine related problems like a prolapsed disc of nerve compression.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
