What Causes Pain In Shoulder Blades Shifting To The Left Arm?
I have had a pain in my back left side near shoulder blades. Thought I slept wrong because pain was in my neck on left side also.. Now after about 1 1/2 weeks pain has moved to muscles in my left arm and at times arm goes numb down to fingers.. Feel ok in chest area but concerned.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the stomach.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to maintain the shoulder immobilized.
If the symptoms continue, you should consult your neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
