A member asked:

What does it mean when you can't feel one area of your shoulder blade by touch, but then get sharp pains?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Damaged nerve: Loss of sensation with pain represents a damaged nerve. There can also be pain referred to the area from somewhere else. It is best for md to examine area and possible order scan to rule out underlying problem.
