On my back on the left side between my shoulder and neck i m experiencing a sharp stabbing pain. It started out as a twinge but now it kind of flicks then stabbing burning pain. It gets tensed up and I can t get it to relax for a while. Then it goes away. Its only in one spot. Do you know what it is and what caused it ? What can I do for it. Carol.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The way you described about the pain you have, it appears to be fibro fasciitis in the shoulder muscles. Start pain killers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy (particularly interferential therapy). If no improvement in 10-14 days then go for local steroid//PRP injections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
