Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the stiff neck, sore shoulder blade with underlying osteoporosis indicate arthritis related nerve compression and its secondary sequences. My guidelines at present:
- Get prescription of analgesic and anti inflammatory medicines like diclofenac, aceclofenac or ketorolac
- Supplemental calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and other trace elements
- Check for hemoglobin level and correct if low
- Regular check up of serum cholesterol and thyroid hormone profile, correct if any abnormality detected

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
