What Causes Sharp Pain In Back Behind Right Shoulder Blade?
i have a very sharp pain in my back, behind my right shoulder blade that leads a little down my right side. I was doing a daily routine (flat ironing my hair) when I felt it coming on. hard to breathe and stretching it doesn t help. - never had back pains I m 54 yrs young - take no meds. any ideas?
Hi you have sharp pain in your back starting while you were ironing your hair. In my opinion it is a sudden muscle spasm , maybe triggered by some movement of neck. I suggest you take pain killers , muscle relaxants and hot fomentation . If there is no improvement in 5 days , get x rays of neck.
