What Causes Intermittent Sharp Pain Under The Shoulder Blade?

For the past week I have had a sharp pain under my right shoulder blade that comes and goes. I though I had pulled a muscle while kayaking. Sometimes it feels like it healed but today has been very uncomfortable. I tried doing my Feldenkrais exercises and it did seem to help. But today it hurt a lot and sometimes is on my upper side and kind of moves around.
