Sudden sharp stabbing pain under left shoulder blade down through ribs, comes and goes on and off, rest/hear/ice does not help?

See MD: This sounds like it could be serious and if you don't have it looked at by a physician it could leave you with long term pain. Try OTC Advil or Aleave, if you don't get relief when you see your doctor ask for some pain killers. I can't tell what to ask for as your MD may prescribed more conservatively etc. I sounds like nerve pain. You may have pulled a muscle. It can easily happen unknowingly.
