Hi, I have had pain under my left shoulder blade that is getting worse over the last two weeks. There doesn t seem to be a knot. It hurts while sitting stationary and wakes me up at night. 800 milligrams barely takes the edge off. Sometimes the pain goes up to my ear, under my arm, around to my chest muscle and sometimes down through my elbow to my fingers. I try to stretch the area as well but it only hurts more. I was thinking of making a doctor s appointment but was wondering if there is something I can do at home to help as not to incur medical bills. Thank You, Trace
Hi, Your pain may be due to cervical spine disc herniation. Pain in the shoulder radiating to the fingers and arm is due to nerve root compression.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
