Intrascapular pain: Can be reflux try ranitidine, muscle strain(erector spinae-behind esophagus) that were irritated during trauma and by swallowing. Osteophytes can impinge on the esophagus, unusual at a young age, Osteophytes develop slowly but position may have shifted . A compression fracture would be rare . f/u/ w/ doc consider motrin if not allergic muscel relaxants

I'm a 27yr old male, 5'5", 140lbs, and have had a slight burning sensation in between my shoulder blades on the right side of the spine right after I swallow, and I feel it right before burping. I'm on 10mg of Celexa and taking Zantac (ranitidine).
