A member asked:
I have a permanently numb spot below my right shoulder blade that is becoming painful do you know what this could be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve issues: Numbness over the shoulder blade, about a silver dollar size can be seen in "notalgia paresthetica", but your problem could be a focal intercostal neuropathy, or even a referred issue from a thoracic disc. A neurological exam can assist diagnosis, and meds exist to control the symptoms.
