A member asked:

Pain in right shoulder blade it is worse when i put my chin to my chest. is this definitely muscoskeltal or do i need to worry of gallbladder or aorta?

Dr. Randy Stevens answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Sounds muscular: right sided pin when you move your chin to chest sounds like a muscle related pain. Gallbladder pain is related to eating. Aortic pain is between shoulder blades. Hope you feel better.
