Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in shoulder and stabbing pain in mid back. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , tendinitis or angina . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic without any delay . Doctor may order nerve conduction test , check for the trigger points of the trapezius muscle if your CT scan and MRI are normal . Doctor may prescribe physical therapy at least for a week along with stretching exercises . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist surgeon for cardiac problem . For now take proper rest apply warm compresses on shoulder and neck and do not exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
