Pain And Discomfort When Touching Shoulder Blade. No Tear. What Is Going On?
Hello, I've had a problem with my left shoulder blade for quite some time now. If it is touched or even sometimes when I just move I experience pain and a strange sensation I cannot describe. I know I didn't tear anything. It's been going on for over a year and seems to be spreading on my back. It used to be just part of my shoulder blade and now it extends beyond it. I'd like to know what's going on.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be rotator cuff tendonitis or impingement syndrome. Thorough clinical evaluation is required to reach the correct diagnosis. physiotherapy will be helpful to overcome the condition.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
