What Is The Pain Am I Having Near My Right Side Shoulder Blade?
I have started having sudden pain in the back near my right side near the shoulder blade and found it difficult to move or take deep breaths. I am now managing to take deep breaths but every time I do I can still feel the pain there. What is causing this all of a sudden?

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of shoulder pain , I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
First possibility: Radicular shoulder pain from cholecystitis should be excluded especially if there is abdominal discomfort.
second possibility :Tendinopathy of rotator cuff muscle especially if there is limited abduction range which can be excluded by MRI.
third possibility:Radicular shoulder pain from the neck due to nerve root compression especially if there is neck pain and this could be excluded by MRI cervical spine.
