How To Get Rid Of Pain In The Middle Of The Shoulder Blades?
My husband has neck fusion 3weeks ago and in a hard cervical collar. 4 days ago started with pain in the middle of his shoulder blades while trying to sit up or stand. While lying on his back it is ok. Also feels like his shoulder needs to crack. Can move arms fine while lying down but can t while standing or sitting up
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that it can be due to muscle spasm in neck. Cervical cooler does not allow neck movement and that can also cause such pain. Some time there can be infection and that can also cause such pain. I would suggest you to take Myoril or Myospaz twice daily to take care of this. I hope his suture is already removed. If there is any wound problem or discharge then it suggest infection. In such cases you need to discuss with your doctor. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
