thank you for the advice. i don't feel any pains in my breast. it's just that spot on the lower part of my left shoulder blade. the pain is not close to any joint. i'll will try the oil.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Pain under the left shoulder blade is usually a referred pain from abdomen like stomach ulcers, or pancreatitis, or from the chest like in heart attack, pericarditis, pleuritis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and aortic dissection. Please consult your PCP immediately to run tests and clinical examination to rule these out. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
