Question 1

what can cause sharp pain under the right shoulder blade?

Accepted Answer

Muscle Pain: There are some muscles that attach right on the shoulder blade called the rhomboid muscles and you may have strained one of those at the attachment. Usually we use these muscles when our arm is above our shoulder so perhaps some activity strained this. If pain doesn't resolve over next seven days or so you should get checked as sometimes the lungs can cause pain around the shoulder blade.

Question 2

sharp pain under my right shoulder blade within past 2 months...the pain is constant and lasts a few days..goes away, then comes back a few days later?

Accepted Answer

Just a though: You might have your GALLBLADDER examined! Pain from that are can "radiate" to the area you describe!

Question 4

bumps and swelling in armpits that come and go - that feel sore. its not present now but today i have sharp pain under my right shoulder blade and have sharp pains in upper chest. getting worried - fears of cancer?

Accepted Answer

Prob.not cancer but:: From your description I doubt this is cancer; bumps and swelling in armpits could be swollen glands or an abscess,but glands swollen from cancer may come but keep getting bigger and don't "go." The pain under your shoulder blade and chest can have many causes but cancer is unlikely. But PLEASE see a good doctor today or very soon; we can't know for sure what is going on and you should be examined.
