What Causes Pain In Upper Right Arm And Between Shoulder Blades?

I am a 65 year old woman, 5 2 175lbs and nonsmoker. I had pain in my upper right arm. It moved to the back, in between the shoulder blades. The pain is unbearable and now I am seeing localized bruising in two areas on my lower right arm. The only thing that 70% helps is a cold pack on my back, but it is still painful. What do I have?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It is most likely muscular pain. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. If not relieved by it then strong analgesic such as tramadol can be of use. For further investigation of pain you require x Ray and MRI of the region. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
