Suggest Cause And Remedy For Shoulder Blade Pain
I have persistent pain on my right shoulder blade. This pain was triggered when I lifted heavy luggage bag. Took neuro fen and also applied a medicinal plaster on shoulder blade. Achieved relief from pain overnight but pain came back later in the morning despite not carrying heavy stuff. What is the cause and remedy

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely that the muscles involved are still inflamed from lifting the bag.
There may also be muscle spasm present.
The continued use of anti inflammatory pain medication would help eg naproxen, ibuprofen, cataflam.
If the pain continues, you may need a muscle relaxant.
I hope this helps
