What Causes Pain Between Shoulder Blades After An Accident?

I was in a car accident Sunday. It was a T-bone impact on my side (passenger). Thank God I was in a jeep so my injuries were not severe. However I am noticing that I am startin to experience pain between my shoulder blades. Feels sort of like a burning sensations. to the touch I only feel a little pain in my right shoulder blade and when I touch that area I feel an extenstion of the pain in my upper right arm. What should I be doing should I be seeking therapy of some kind? Went to the hospital they took x-rays and check my cardio nothing showed up.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms are related to the trauma sue to the car accident.
You have already done an x ray which has excluded fracture.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms.
I also recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
