What Causes Sharp Shooting Pain Below The Shoulder Blade?

Hi. I am a 26 year old female, relatively healthy. In the past couple days I have been having sharp pains just below my shoulder blade on the left side of my back. They are worse when swallowing or drinking. Occassionally when I move or bend the wrong way they feel like a stabbing pain. It is worse today than yesterday and hurts in my chest on the left side as well. I am not sure if I should go into a clinic or wait a few days to see if it stops?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such shoulder pain or the pain near the shoulder area could be due to muscular spasm and may not be anything big wrong and it can be well managed with Tab Chlorzoxazone Diclophenac once in day, and it is nothing to worry stop worrying about this and it will be fine alright hope this information helps.
