Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder Blades
Rule Lungs,heart,cholecyst,pancreas prob out first
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The pain you have been experiencing during these months in your shoulder blades and are causing difficulty in breathing is related to:
- pulled muscle : observe whether this pain is subsided when you take ibuprofen or other OTC pain killers. If it is subsided, then, it's from pulled muscle.
- observes if the pain is more intense when moving? while resting? after eating/drinking?
- injury to the shoulder blades should be ruled out through X-ray
- as you are also having difficulty in breathing, further tests are needed to exclude:
1. heart problems: ECG, cardiac echo, stress test
2. pulmonary issues: chest-X-ray, respiratory function tests
3. cholecyst problems (inflammation, sludge, stones, etc.): abdominal ultrasound and liver/pancreas function tests are needed to rule them out.
You can discuss this further with your family doctor.
After having analyzed all these tests, I can specifically tell whether what you are experiencing is worrisome or not.
Hope it helped!
