Hello,

Difficulty in breathing may be due to sinusitis, nose block, anemia, pneumonia and many more. Do you have a fever?. Causes pain in the shoulder blade are:
-Injury
-Blunt trauma
-Sprain or strain
-Spondylosis
-Spine-related problems
-Improper posture
For that, I would like to advise you the following:
-You can take the tablet aceclofenac.
-Apply diclofenac gel or cream.
-Apply ice locally.
-Do x-ray and MRI back and hip region.
-Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedics.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
