What Causes Pain Near Shoulder Blade While Coughing?
i have recently been coughing alot, but just today, the side near my right shoulderblade began to hurt. it would hurt when i breathed in to cough, and also when i sat down, stood up, bent foward, bent backward, jump, so on. I think it may be because of my fencing sport posture, but if thats not it, is it because of the coughing?

Hello,
Pain in right shoulder blade after breathing, coughing, bending or jumping is likely to be due to muscular or pleural cause. I suggest you to consult your primary heath care provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
