Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Tightness Under Right Shoulder Blade, Was Constipated. Took Laxatives. Related?
I have a tightness or pain under my right shoulder blade that is worse with a deep breath. I was pretty constipated so thought that was the cause. However, after taking a laxative and taking care of that issue I am still experiencing the pain and discomfort under my shoulder blade/ ribs. I am also having some issues with belching/indigestion which may not be related.
Hi, I feel that pain under right shoulder blade and constipation are most probably not unrelated. Pain under right shoulder pain may be muscular in nature or a pleuritic(related to inflammation of pleura) pain.Kindly take a muscle relaxant and apply local anaesthetic ointment. In case it does not help, then you might need a X-Ray Imaging. Hope it helps.
