What Causes Pain In The Shoulder Blade?

I have had a sore back shoulder 2 months. Pain is high left shoulder blade betw arm and neck. I do not remember hurting it, but almost certainly continue to aggravate it with lifting (eg groceries, luggage), which I am trying to cut back on. Advil does not seem to help, movement/stretching helps, standing helps. Sleeping is difficult unless I sleep on my back which is not my usual position or I can sleep on my opposite side ok. Turning in bed or while driving, drives the pain. No other problems. Suggestions?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having frozen shoulder as you are having pain during night and on movements. Treatment of it is physiotherapy by mobilisation exercises of shoulder, analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
