Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant pain in shoulder blade. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve root compression due to disc protrusion , infection , muscle strain and swelling in joint . Sometimes there is trigger point activation of trapezius muscle which can cause in shoulder blade. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , do light stretching exercises under expert , start physical therapy and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or nerve conduction test . Doctor may prescribe methylcobalamin supplements , B12 supplementation anti inflammatory or recommend acupuncture. Also do trapezius muscle stretching under expert .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
