Question 1

in a woman what does pain between shoulder blades and burping mean?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Commonly, shoulder blade pain can be from the neck or bursitis around the blade.  Ribcage/chest pain can be from rib joints. Sometimes, trigger point steroid injection of the shoulder balde bursitis can be helpful along with physical therapy, and medications such as muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories. See an orthopedist. Not sure the connection with burping unless an abdominal source.

Question 2

59 yrear old woman pain in right side of chest and right shoulder blade for nearly a week.  sometimes pain is a band around chest and back?

Accepted Answer

Be examined: A right sided pain like that could be related to her gallbladder. It may not be serious but be examined and assessed. All the best.

Question 3

i have persistent pain from my right arm pit through my shoulder blade to my spine. i am a 51 year old woman with high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Right armpit pain: This is difficult to say without an exam. I would want to see that you have a good exam which includes the shoulder, breasts and lymph nodes as well as the abdomen.

Question 4

woman 30y.o.for 1 week i have mild localised pain on a small area where sternum and ribcage meet next to my left breast.it hurts when i press it or lie on it like i have a bruise but i dont.i also have some tight muslces on my left shoulder blade ?

Accepted Answer

: Most likely there is inflammation of the chest wall, costochondral inflammation, if you are otherwise healthy. A local heating pad may provide relief. Discuss any GI symptoms with your physician, monitor breathing and temperature.

Question 5

female 41 yrs old sharp pain between shoulder blades?

Accepted Answer

Sharp pain: Sharp pain between shoulder blades may be due to infection, neoplasm, cardiac irregularities, arthritic changes, muscular adversity, neoplasm, neurologic disorder, etc. You need to be examined, have your overall medical history/medications/current symptoms evaluated, possibly lab tests, possibly imaged. Do you have a problem, perhaps. Should it be evaluated, yes. Call your GP.

Question 6

intermittent pain under shoulder blade for 3 days. female 70 years of age?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: More details please! How long does the pain last?  Is is sharp or dull? Does it happen with movement or at rest?  Any other symptoms? Atypical chest pain can be serious or minor depending on all these things, plus your medical history. If the pain is only with movement, it is likely due to a problem with your muscles. If not, lots of causes.  See a doc. If shortness of breath, nausea, pain to ER.

Question 7

i am 21 years old.and female have pain in left shoulder blade?

Accepted Answer

Causes: need more info to pinpoint... Could be a muscle issue, a lung issue, nerve issue, cardiac issue.  Give us the who what when where how and maybe someone can pinpoint it for you.  Cough, pain with movement, rash?  Short of breath?

Question 8

i am a 36 year old female experiencing constant pain starting under the lower part of my right shoulder blade. sometimes i feel piercing pain through ?

Accepted Answer

Cholecystitis: The gall bladder problem presents this way when blocked or inflamed.  Be aware of a yellow tinge to the "whites" of you eyes and the hurry to a surgeon. If you must wait, avoid fatty foods like the plague. There are, less often, more serious problems. For both, see a surgeon or GI specialist.

Question 9

i have had a located ache in my back next to my right shoulder blade, like a slight pressure. no medical problems in my history, female, 52.

Accepted Answer

Scapular bursitis: Commonly, shoulder blade pain can be from the neck or bursitis around the blade.  Ribcage/chest pain can be from rib joints. Sometimes, trigger point steroid injection of the shoulder balde bursitis can be helpful along with physical therapy, and medications such as muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories. See an orthopedist.

Question 10

hi.  54 year old female.  full pain in left shoulder blade.   swollen nodes under left and right armpits.  what could cause this?   thank you

Accepted Answer

Many things: Whatever it is, you need to see your doctor.  If these are in fact lymph nodes, then you may need to see a surgeon.  Possibilities include infection, inflammatory or malignancy.  Call your doctor and have him/her feel these areas.
