Numbness in left shoulder blade for a few days now , should i be concerned ?

Assess if persists: LIkely parascapular pinched nerve, due to muscle inflamation. Seen if you work out a bit. Spine pain, progress in symptoms, poor response to Ibuprofen, may need assessment. Warm compresses could be tried.
