A member asked:

I burp & feel shoulder blade pain as i wake up. when massaged i burp more and things go fine. it's worse if i take fatty food the prev night. pls adv.

Abdominal issue: This sounds like what could be gall bladder problems or reflux. Could try otc med like Prilosec briefly. Also avoid eating shortly before lying down and avoid fatty foods. If not better needs to be seen by pcp.
