A member asked:
Can sharp pains below shoulder blade be a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seems unlikley: If there has been a blood clot that migrated from the leg to the lung (embolus) and caused part of the lung to die it could produce chest pain from the irritation of the lung linging (pleurisy). This pain is usually worse with a cough or deep breath.
