What Could Constant Pain Between Shoulder Blades With No Positive Result From Any Tests Suggest?
Hi Doctor, I have a continuious pain in the same spot just between my shoulder blades, my doc has done blood tests, xrays and had me on anti inflammatories, these have not worked, he says I have a mechanical back, I am 50 years old, he says I have artheritis, I have had numerous beds, thinking it was the mattress, I have sleepless nights tossing and turning,am always tired, is there anything else I can do to alleviate this pain, thank you

Hi
Thanks for your query
After going through your query I feel physical therapy is the treatment for you by TENS and short way diathermy.Beside this take regular back strengthening exercises,diet rich in calcium and vitamin D will help.Alternative therapy like relaxation,massage, yoga gives good result.Based on your description the cause could be fibromyalgia.
Take care
