What would cause a burning/sharp pain in the back of your shoulder blade? neck on the left feels very tight/stiff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your neck muscle tightness is probably pinching the scapular nerve as it exits from the neck & travels down to the shoulder blade. Treatment would be measures to relax the neck muscles with intermittent hot water compresses for 20 minutes. Muscle relaxants may help. See your MD as needed. Neck xrays,MRI, physical therapy may be ordered if deemed advisable.
