Pain between shoulder blades after sleeping on floor. how can i ease the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: Shoulder blade pain can come from multiple sources. This area can have pain referred from the neck and shoulder along with multiple other areas. If only when you are sleeping on the floor, i would consider trying a pillow that allows a more neutral position for your neck and head first and then look at other possibilities.
