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
