Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are going through.

The pain you are having behind your left shoulder blade which is being eased by flexiril, it is muscular-skeletal (also known as fibromyalgia).

It is common for your age (as is commonly occurring for ages 20 to 50).

I advise to:
- take anti-inflammatory/analgesic medication orally
- apply analgesic cream locally
- apply warm clothing locally
- schedule physio-therapy exercises to relieve the stiffness and pain
- do exercises on regular basis

Good positioning during sleep can also help.

Wish fast recovery!
