I was in a car accident Aug. 31 2011 and broke my right colarbone. It is still not healed and is healing at an angle. It still radiates pain sometimes. The funny thing is I have sever pain under my left shoulderblade and it goes down my arm to the elbow and lower arm. It hurts constantly. A dull ache pain. It feels better if I put pressure on my shoulderblade or if I am laying down. When I get up and use it it throbs most of the time. Aleve doesn t help much and I can t handle the pain. They never xrayed my right side and the dr. says I have degenrative disc disease in c6 & c7. My only pain is under my shoulder blade and I don t know what it could be.
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve, probably from the vertebral column. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, performing nerve conduction studies and a cervical spine MRI. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
