A member asked:
Sudden onset of sharp back pain under left scapula on inhale and some arm movements . what is causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soft tissue: At your age this pain is most likely due to muscle sprain/strain or soft tissue inflammation, and will probably resolve with time, progressive activity, and anti-inflammatory medications. As with any medical condition, if you do not improve or if your symptoms worsen you should see a physician.
