Can Shoulder Pain Linger After An Accident?

I was in a car accident about four months ago and since then, I've been having shoulder blade pain on my right side but today when I woke up it was really really really bad, it even made me cry. Can you tell me if this is from the accident still, it is hard to believe that I still have pain after four months.

Hai.u hsve had a traumatic neuralgic pain.
It cam usually prolong for long duration. Days weeks or months.
The nerve endings get through sudden shock like feelings associated with pain.
Maybe u have had wrong position while in sleep.this is usually radiating pain from cervical plexus or brachial plexus.
U can go for pain killers like tramwdol, or pregablin with methylcobal
Or else go for neurolytic blocks.
Good luck, take care.
