What Causes Sharp Pain Radiating From Upper Back To The Shoulder?
I have sharp, pin pricking pain on my upper back. It stings and radiates pain around my shoulder blade (8/10 on the pain scale). There is no visable bite, marking, or redness on the skin. It is quite distressing, as it is a significant pain with no apparent source.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
With such presentations in my clinic, I would firstly reassure my patient .Mostly this is Myositis or muscle spasm in the upper back muscles ..I suggest also doing plain X ray for cervical and thoracic vertebrae.I advise you to receive muscle relaxant and NSAID.
