What Does Severe Pain In The Left Shoulder Blade Indicate?
I am having a lot of pain in my left shoulder blade. Extreme numbness and pain in both my arms, it feels like I have a tourniquet around both my arms. My left arm has a lot of pain in my bicep area. Pain in my left buttocs (sciatic) nerve and down my left leg? Aleve and advil at higher doses are not touching the pain. p

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the response to NSAIDs is poor and their is excruciating pain then you should go to an ER near you. Imaging of the C spine would be required after examination. Intramuscular Diclofenac can be given for prompt relief along with Tramadol based on severity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
