What Causes Recurring Pain In Left Shoulder Blade With Belching?

Hi there! For about a year now I have been experiencing pain in my left shoulder blade and with it a lot of belching, to the point where I sometimes feel nauseas. My appetite is good and I have not lost weight. I am in my 60s. I don't have the pain constantly, it sometimes lasts for a week then I don't have it for a month or 2 until it starts again. What could it be?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
According to your symptoms, You must have pain in rotator cuff of your left shoulder. This type of injury is commonly associated with motions that require repeated overhead motions or forceful pulling motions & could take a long time to heal. This injury could also occur by sleeping on the side on the side.
Avoiding movement of the shoulder joint allows the torn tendon to fully heal. You should avoid raising up your arm & sleeping on the shoulder. Once the tendon is entirely recovered, passive exercises can be implemented. Passive exercises of the shoulder are movements in which a physical therapist maintains the arm in a particular position, manipulating the rotator cuff without any effort by the patient.

refer to a orthopedist

hope this helps
