What Causes Stabbing Pain In Shoulder Blade Along With Chest Pain?

I have a constant pain deep in the left side of my chest. Three day ago when I woke up I had this stabbing pain deep in the left upper back along my shoulder blade to the point I couldn t sneeze, yawn or take a deep breathe. This has happened about three times in the past three years although the chest pain has been going on for about 6 months. I ve been to the doctor and had x-rays and she says it pleurisy and irritation of the lining of the lung and maybe a pulled a muscle. I m worried because it has been going on for awhile.
