What Causes Intense Pain On Shoulders?

I don t know if this has anything to do with the pain but I have shoulder dimples on my back. Both of my shoulders have been bothering me lately. I wake up and there okay, just a little sore, but the more I walk around or carry my backpack the pain gets worse. Its a severe ache in both shoulders on the back side of the shoulder blade. They also crack a lot.

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intense pain on shoulders. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like avascular necrosis , bursitis , cervical radiculopathy , frozen shoulder , impingement , sprains and strains or tendinitis .

If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI for proper examination .
