What Causes Pain In The Back And Shoulder Blade?
For several days I ve had a pain in my back by my right shoulder blade. It s very uncomfortable and annoying. If I move my arm certain ways it s really hurts. I ve been trying to work it out by movement/massage but it still hurts. I don t really remember aggravating/hurting it in any way but it feels like a pulled muscle but it s not getting better and it s been hurting for about five to six days. Any thoughts as to what this is? It s not really a a sharp/stabbing pain but more of a constant thing.

Hello,
It could be a musculoskeletal pain. As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
