I am struggling with sharp stabbing pain in my right shoulder blade. hurts to breath, but ibuprofen does ease the pain some. 36 yo female. ?

Cant summarize in 20: Any pain that is persistent is worth getting checked out. In a young and otherwise healthy 36 year old without trauma, the most likely thing is muscle/soft tissue pain. The shoulder pain is a complex structure with a bunch of muscles involved. A hands-on exam by a good physiatrist could help diagnose the exact problem and guide treatment. Avoid taking ibuprofen too often, it can be toxic.
