What Causes Pain In Back Below Shoulder Blades?
My mom drank cold club soda and then felt a sharp pain in her back below the shoulder blades that was intense (like a tooth ache or brain freeze) and never has experienced this before. She is 72 and very healthy otherwise. Any idea what this could be?

Hi,
This may be due to severe gastritis or reflux oesophagitis.This causes referred pain in the back region due to common nerve supply.
Get her gastroscopy done to rule out gastric / duodenal ulcer.
Thank you
