Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The most common cause of shoulder blade pain is a muscle strain.
Short-term overuse of your arms and upper torso may be experienced in your scapula.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using warm compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
