What Causes Pain Under The Right Shoulder Blade?

What can cause pain under the right shoulder blade? It feels like a muscle strain but it has been hurting for a couple of months. It does not hurt at night while I sleep but starts up again about an hour or so after I get up. It hurts all day, sometimes worse than others.

Hi,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out possible ligament or tendon injury.

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