What Is The Cause For Shoulder Blade Pain Who Is 14 Years?
My son is almost 14 years old. He keeps complaining he has pain between his shoulder blades. He had been carrying his backpack to school and to me it was too heavy. We did took some of the weigh off his backpack and it worked for a few days, but now he is complaining again. Is there anything we can do? Should we take him to the doctors?

Hi
From your history I feel it might be purely related to his physical strain as the spinal muscles might be undergoing strain.If he is otherwise asymptomatic you need not worry. But if it's disturbing his school or daily activities you can give him a pain killer for a short course after consulting your physician once
