hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
As you have pain beneath the shoulder blade I will advice you to take a cardio examination along with x-ray due to your age factor.
Once the cardiac clearance is found then this pain looks more of the pinched nerve in the cervical spine or trapezius inflammation. for which a thorough clinical examination is advised.
Also, most cases have muscular pain and are treated successfully with physical therapy in my clinical practice.
