Hello,

The common causes of sharp pain between shoulder blades are:
1) Trauma
2) Pulled muscle/ sprain
3) Issue related to cervical/ thoracic spine
4) Referral pain from gall bladder diseases, Acid reflux diseases

Some rare causes are aortic rupture, pulmonary embolism, I think this will not be in your case. So, I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with physician.

I will also suggest you to take tablet Diclofenac, do x-ray cervical and thoracic spine and follow up with physician and orthopedician.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
