Accepted Answer

Another Dr needed: I don't mean to criticize a Dr I don't even know, but your description raises concern. There are big problems w/ irresponsible pain Rx's and steroids require close monitoring to avoid serious potential damage. Please do seek an alternative resource. I'm certain you can find one near you. Be safe, be well.

Question 10

right shoulder blade pain radiating up neck and down back. also front of ribs and right breast. constant pain which gradually got worse last month.

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: I suggest a consultation with a neurologist as the distribution of the discomfort suggests a nerve impingement on a nerve root or the  spinal cord by a bulging intervertebral disc in your neck. A neurologist will examine you and order appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
