Suggest Treatment For Muscle Spasms In Shoulder Blade
Recently noticed muscle like spasms near right shoulder blade. These spasms have begun radiating down my right arm and radiating up the side of neck. I have tried heat and ice on area, but it is to the point that it wakes me up at night. I do not think I ve done anything to cause this. I m very cautious with my back as I have had 2 surgeries on L4-L5.

I have studied your case and I think that it can be due to cervical spondylitis. I would suggest you to meet orthopaedic surgeon and discuss your condition. You will need intermittent cervical traction exercises.
You should also apply hot water fomentation and volitran ointment. If you want then you can send your x rays/MRI report to me. I will try my best to help you.
thanks
