Suggest Treatment For Radiating Pain From The Middle Back To The Shoulder

I have had some burping and pain in the upper middle portion of my back & into the right shoulder blade into the shoulder & a bit into my right arm. I. with my right arm the side seems to go away when I lie down. It is more uncomfortable when I lie on my right side. Appears to be easier to sleep on my left side. My throat seems to be rather dry & sore too. Sometimes I feel as if I am short of breath too.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have radiating pain from the middle back to the shoulder . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve root compression due to disc protrusion , infection , muscle stain and swelling in joint . cervical spodylosis can also cause such problem .

Sometimes symptoms can also occur due to trigger point trapezius muscle , so you need to do particular exercises for this under expert .

The symptoms can also occur due to migraine .It also possible that the symptoms are due to heart disease or blockage, consult orthopedic surgeon for it . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , do light stretching exercise 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 accupuncture. Apply warm compresses on shoulder blade .
