pain in sholder blades was started.
I too am experiencing pain in my upper back near or just below my left sholder blade. The pain is most severe when I am looking over my right sholder, and raising my left arm (when backing up in my car). Any suggestions?
Yes, this does sound like a pinched nerve, causing both shoulder and chest pain. You should see your doctor for this. You will probably need an x-ray of your cervical spine. Since it shouldn't be assumed that your shoulder pain and chest pain have the same cause, you should also have a chest x-ray.
I have a pain in my shoulder blade also! Right shoulder blade...when i raise my arm a certain way or pick something up..it feels like it knocks my breath out..makes it difficult to breath..i've had this problem for a few years i was thinking it was a pinched nerve. do pinched nerves require surgery? if now how do i get rid of it..why would a pinched nerve feel like it's taking my breath out?
i wished i had some answers for you !!! but i would't think a pinched nerve should take your breath . i am going to see a neuro soon . if i find out anything that might help you i will drop another post ....god bless.... wishing you well.
