A member asked:
I have upper back pain between the shoulder blades. seems to be more on the right. what should i do to relieve the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start some pain meds: Lie aleve (naproxen) or Ibuprofen (if no allergies or side effects with their use). Using a heat pad would be helpful. Some like to use ice rather heat; even alternating ice with heat is helpful. If no improvements then certainly see your pcp to be evaluated ; investigated. Good luck.
