A member asked:
I have pain under my left shoulder blade area. it also seems to hurt when i take deep breaths. can this be a muscle spasm?

Maybe: Pain with a deep breath is a good sign that this is muscular. Take some over the counter antiinflammatories, rest the area, and seek care if it does not improve.
