Shoulder pain: Shoulder blade pain may be due to conditions related to nearby structures i.e. Chest, heart or musculoskeletal. Timing, location and aggravating or precipitating factors will help your doctor narrow down the possibilities. Any pain not relieved by local therapy (heat/massage) and lasting more than a few days should be checked out by a health professional.
