After carrying much weight in shoulder bags on both shoulders at once for about two miles, I have had chronic itching at my left shoulder blade, mild (sub-morphine)-level) surging pain at an intercostal or similar muscle between two front ribs on my left side and near the rhomboid muscle high on the left side of my back.
I did some back exercises, stretching, and trunk and back rotating/twisting calestenics to get things straightened out, and hope any nerve inflammation that might have caused this pain will subside and the pain will then go away.

poping bones in shoulder and neck pain on the left side
Hello, I really understand what you are going through. I unfortunately feel I have made the wrong descision by having open reduction surgery for severe shoulder impingement, bone spurs, and tears on both shoulders which was very painful caused by overuse as a welder and a fall from football years ago. I have had five shoulder surgeries since 1995 which caused much scar tissue; I have to deal with it all the time. The symptoms were burning, constant aching, and sharp pain while laying on it, lifting, or over-head reaching. If you have to have surgery I would suggest arthroscopic if you can. It heals faster with less scar tissue. Good luck with state industrial they can be a pain. Tim
Sounds like a RTC injury to me. I have similar symptoms and just had an MRI, will know the results in a couple days. 5 years ago I had similar symptoms and had a RTC tear and subsequent surgery. That was in my right shoulder, now the left one is bothering me.
