<human>: While I was exercising this morning I started getting a pain in my back by my left shoulder blade. Not horrible just annoying. When I take a deep breath I can also feel it in the front on the left near the center of my chest. Is this from pushups yesterday? That is the only thing I could think of.
<bot>: Hi Thanks for your query and Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. It could just be due to muscular strain especially if it has started after intensive exercises. So for initial 5-7 days, I would like to advise for :- To avoid heavy exercising and other activities which are aggravating your pain-Take a gentle anti-inflammatory medication like Tab Ibuprofen or Tab paracetamol or any other medication which suits you-Use an analgesic spray / fomentation if it helps outlet me know in 7-10 days time how you are feeling otherwise few investigations might be needed for a diagnosis and further management. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Thanks & Regards
