A member asked:
Will a broken rib under the shoulder blade cause problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Should be ok once it heals unless there is displacement or healing reaction causing protrusion into the shoulder blade/chest wall space resulting in bursal irritation when you elevate your arm on the same side.
