Pain: The area of pain is not typical for a single muscle. Ice the area and seek care. How did you get this injury ? Based on that and pain, yes ER may be needed. This sounds more than a pure muscle issue. So agree seek care and in the meanwhile place a Ice pack.

If you sleep wrong & twinge the muscle in your shoulder blade/lower neck area, can the pain radiate down your arm? And also cause muscle spasms on that side of your body near your breast area? How long can a twinged muscle hurt for?

I woke up with a sharp pain in the front of my right shoulder. Hurt with movement. As the day went on I noticed that if I crossed my right arm across my body i would feel sharp stabbing pain just to the right of the center of my chest and upper back.

What could cause pain burning in left shoulder & bicep, weakness in arm. 1-10 pain is 3, daily but comes and goes for hours. Does not increase or decrease with movement. Sometimes radiates to chest, stiff neck muscle left side. ?
