I'm coughing and having pain between shoulder blades, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough and back pain: Not uncommon - while coughing you are using back and lower neck muscles that attach in the area between the shoulder blades - as the cough subsides, so should the pain - understand, if the cough does not, get checked out by a competent doctor - both issues can then be served.
