Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Right-sided Pain In The Back And Below The Shoulder?
for the past few weeks I have had sharp pains in the right side of my back. Maybe 5 or 6 inches below my shoulder blade. They are sharp stabbing pains when I move, turn, get up, breath deep. Any movement sets it off. Do you think it is anything to worry about? I had a car accident in March 2016 and I had lower back pain and neck and shoulder pain on and off since then. This is a different type of pain and just started 2-3 weeks ago. But it never goes away. Pain meds do not help it any.
