A member asked:

Pain in my left shoulder blade and neck when breathing in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pinched nerve: Shoulder and/or shoulder blade pain can be caused by an irriated shoulder or a pinched nerve in the neck. If turning your head in the direction of pain causes the pain to shoot to your shoulder and shoulder blade there is a good chance it's coming from your neck.
