What Causes Pain In Scapula?

I am 54 year old male with pain in right scapula that started yesterday and today is spreading to shoulder and upper arm. If I sit still pain not bad but with movement and especially standing pain almost unbearable. also less strength in that arm, grip in hand is still strong.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello

I have understood your symptoms,

There is radiating pain from your shoulder to arm and scapula. Usually cervical disc bulge leads to nerve compression and subsequently radicular pain in your arm and fingers.

I will advise you physiotherapy like Interferential therapy and auto traction for early recovery.
Static and against resistance guided exercise therapy may help in this case.
You can consult physiotherapist for that.

MRI cervical spine will help you to see severity of nerve compression.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
