A member asked:
When i squeeze shoulder blades together i get a pin point pain under left blade for 2 wks. could this be lung related? had a normal chest xray last yr
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinpoint is acute ms: Usually pinpoint pain is usually musculoskeletal in nature versus visceral. However, if you are having lung issues, a chest xray last year does not reflect your lung condition now. So, best to contact your doctor, and have him examine this, and advise you further what your next step is. You may have strained your left shoulder blade, but only a physical exam will tell you this.
