A member asked:

I have a pain in my back below the shoulder blade about bra strap. moving around doesn't stop it and it has been for several months now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get a chest X-ray: If it is not related to musculoskeletal pain, which the lack of reproducibility with movement suggests, i would be worried about a process in the lung. With something this chronic and nagging, which appears to interfere with your day to day comfort, you need to get a complete diagnostic workup.
