Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
