I have been experiencing sharp pain under my right shoulder blade, for the last 5 days, I went to the ER on Friday they took blood, EKG and an XRay.. prescribed Naprosyn and Robaxin , I am still experiencing pain. They diagnosed me with muscle spasms. I did not do anything to pull a muscle.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sharp pain below the shoulder blade. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like trapezius muscle trigger points, muscle spasm, angina, kidney stone or gallstone. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant as per prescribed by the doctor along with that also apply warm compresses at pain site and do stretching exercises. If condition doesn't get better then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist for kidney. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
