For the past week, I've been having pretty severe pain (about an 8 on a 1 to 10 scale and enough to take my breath away) in my right shoulder blade. It hurts mainly if I try to move my arm. It got so bad yesterday that I made an emergency appointment with the NP at my doctor's office. She did an x-ray, but didn't see anything that could be causing the pain, so she said it was muscle spasms and gave me a pain patch to put on the area (which is really hard to do because I live alone, and I lack the flexibility to be able to reach that part of my back!) She also gave me a prescription for Mobic (which I haven't picked up yet.) I'm also taking baclofen, but it hasn't helped much.
Has anyone ever heard of having muscle spasms in your shoulder blades? You'd think I would have recognized it as a spasm, since I have so many of them. Could this be part of the "hug"? I am also having pain in my lower ribs on the left side, which I have had off and on for the past year or so.
