I have been having upper back pain and shoulder pain for awhile now. I ve gotten most of it under control but There s that ache in my shoulder s every once in awhile. I even strained my shoulder. Today was one of those days. I went to move my right side and all of a sudden I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my shoulder blade area and slightly under now it s back to the dull Ache it had before. I normally wouldn t worry but the Sharp pain was something I hadn t felt before it was hard to move my shoulder for those few minutes.
Hi I am Chat Doctor. .  In my opinion you may have a kind of cervical radiating pain accompanied by a muscular strain. In some cases pain subside simultaneously even without medications just by relaxing your shoulders.  For my patients I may suggest painkillers like Advil tabs when needed, hot massages with topical gels, B12 vitamin supplements, muscle relaxants, in severe cases steroid tabs or injection may be prescribed if needed.  You try to avoid heavy lifting, vigorous movements, bad sleeping or sitting postures, avoid bending your back for a long time sometimes an arm sling is helpful.  If your pain persists I recommend MRI on cervical spine to rule out any kind of spinal injuries like discs or herniation and follow it up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management to prevent further complications.
