Hello,

Pain in the region of the shoulder blade can be due to multiple causes. It may be due to inflammation in the scapula itself or referred pain from other areas of the body.

Which shoulder blade is affected is an important question, as some conditions are more likely to affect the left shoulder blade and others more likely to affect the right.

Pain in the shoulder blades can be related to inflammation or trauma to the shoulder area itself, or may instead be due to referred pain from other regions in the chest and abdomen.

Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your orthopedician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
