Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A sharp burning type pain between scapula and spine can be due to mild nerve compression near spine or methylcobalamin deficiency. You can get your vitamin B12 levels evaluated and have electrolyte rich fluids and see if it helps. Doing a hot compress and taking an oral muscle relaxant can also help. Do consult your physician and get proper medicines prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
