Toothache Type Pain In Lower Right Shoulder Blade, Radiating Down. History Of Anxiety, Panic Disorder. Recommendations?

I am having toothache type pain in my lower right shoulder blade. Sometimes it radiates down my right arm to my elbow down the front forearm. Sometimes it radiates to the lower left front of my body above the pelvis. I just noticed it today. It's not constant, but in and out today. I am a 26 yr old female. I have had anxiety and panic disorder problems during the past 2 years.

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your symptoms may be due to anxiety and stress. Anxiety disorders can manifest not only with psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also like: Tingling, numbness, palpitation, chest heaviness, choking sensation, tremors (shakiness), muscle spasm and medically unexplained pain complaints etc.

Apart from that this pain complaint may be due to nerve compression or neuropathy. So it is better get yourself evaluated by general physician to rule out these conditions.

For long term control of anxiety following measures are helpful: relaxation exercise, medicines like SSRIs and non drug treatment like CBT. It is better to get evaluated by psychiatrist and start treatment accordingly.

Same time do some relaxation exercise like daily brisk walk, yoga and breathing exercise, which will help you in fast recovery.

Wish you good health and all the best.
