A member asked:
Hi there. i seem to have a problem. my shoulder plates and the muscles around the top of of my back are constantly aching. what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: Neck pain usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. It is common for neck pain to refer to the back as well as shoulder blades. Early treatment options include a short course of nsaids (advil, aleve), gentle massage, moist heat, and focusing on posture. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
