A member asked:

Possibly: Sudden pain in shoulder blade in a young make like yourself can sometimes be due to a spontaneous pneumothorax - a small area of collapsed lung. Usually this resolved on its own but if you have pain with breathing or shortness of breath it would be best to see Dr & possibly have a chest X-ray to evaluate. If none of those symptoms you can try ibuprofen or Aleve & heat & gentle stretches 1st
