Suggest Treatment For Burning, Painful Area Between Shoulder Blades After Accident
was involved in an auto accident a week ago and broken my sternum and five ribs. I feel I am doing quite well, still have a lot of pain when I have to get out of bed or bend over especially on the left side. I also have a burning sore area between my shoulder blades. I take 2 Tylenol extra strength every 6 hours. I work as a part-time school secretary (15 hours per week). I m wondering approximately when I can return to work?
