Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The painful lump on the shoulder blade can be due to a hematoma, inflammation due to an injury, an infection or an abscess or a lipoma.
It needs a direct examination and investigations like FNAC to detect the cause of the lump.
Till then it is best to give rest to the area, take a mild pain killer and do a hot compress to have relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
