<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have been having an aching pain inbetween my shoulder blades. The pain has recently started to travel up my neck and is getting very uncomfortable. Just a constant soreness. I have found relief in taking deep breaths. These deep breaths tend to make a poppinggrinding sound inbetween my shoulder blades which feel good to me and help with the pain. I know I shouldn t be doing this but it seems to be the only thing that works.  <response>: Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
