What Causes The Muscle Pain In The Shoulder Blade At The Back?

I have a muscle ache in the shoulder blade region of my back. Every morning when I wake up, I find it hard to get out of bed by moving up into a sitting position. Its been going on for about a month now. Its not to the point where it hurts, but I can definitely feel it when I turn my head left and right. Ive tried massaging it but I cant get a proper grip on where it actually is. I believe it is much deeper and hard to massage from the outside. What is wrong with me?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
