severe shoulder blade pain

(3 discussions)

I CAN’T SLEEP!! I can’t look down, I can’t lift anything with weight using my left arm.
I woke up one morning and WOW, the pain in my left shoulder blade was soooo uncomfortable.
Sometimes I get a tingling going down my left arm into my hand.
I did go to a chiropractor last week and he thought at first it was a rib. By the time he finished up, he believed it was all muscular. I was out of pain when I left his office and the following day. Come Sat., back to the same ole same ole.
I keep having my husband push as hard as he can on the spot and just hold it.
I do get temp. relief.
It has become so frustrating.
The pain has been here for about 2 months now.
I just don’t know what to do!!

    I have been having the same problem for about 3 months. It started with slight pain under the right shoulder blade. Needless to say the pain became so severe, and unasble to take anti-inflammatories, my doctor sent me to a chiropractor who found rib-dysfunction on my right 5th rib. Three visits later it feels great, except 2 days after my last visit I was in such severe pain on my left side, I went back to find out the same 5th rib, only on the other side was out. I’m yet to be pain free as the inflammation never has time to subside before I have another episode.

    ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHOULDER PAIN WHEN I WOKE UP 1 MORNING, THE PAIN FELT LIKE I SLEPT ON IT WRONG, BUT IT LASTED ONE WEEK. FINALLY AFTER A BUNCH OF TEST I FOUND OUT I HAD A CONDITION CALLED BRACHIAL PLEXITIS. A CONDITION WOTH MY NERVES BEING PINCHED. I LOST ALL STRENGTH IN MY RIGHT ARM. I COULDN’T EVEN LIFT A HALF GALLON OF MILK. THE PAIN WAS SO SEVERE IT CAUSED ME TO LOOSE ALL STRENGTH. I WENT THROUGH ABOUT 3 MONTHS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND TO THIS DAY CAN STILL FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
