What Causes Pain Under The Shoulder Blades?
For the past four days I have developed back pain right under the shoulder blades, it is more pronounced on the left side. The pain appears to aggravate when sitting on the chair or driving. I have been taking alieve twice a day. I have doing hot fomentation at night. It is sort of ok in the morning but there is a sudden onset once I sit and get on with my daily work. Thanks.

Hello,
It may be musculoskeletal pain or contusion. As of now, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or diclofenac for pain relief. If pain persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
