What Causes Pain In The Back Near The Shoulder Blades?

I ve been having a pain in my back close to the right shoulder blade. It also shoots to the front of my chest. I had an X-ray and a mammogram and a bone scan. The doctor said I have arthritis. I know arthritis is mainly in the joints. What does it have to do with my back and chest?

Hi welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of ischemic changes in the heart leading to myocardial infarction.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo,lipid profile,hsCRP immediately to confirm the diagnosis.Drugs like clopilet,ecosprin,atorvas ,inotropes like digoxin will be helpful.Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
