How to treat persistent shoulder blade pain and soreness?

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for your question - I imagine that your symptoms are troubling and causing concern.

Shoulder blade pain can be from a variety of causes, including changes in rotator cuff strength, positioning of the shoulder or a scapulothoracic bursa. If you are experiencing pain and a popping feeling around the shoulder then this might be the underlying problem.

I would suggest an initial assessment with a Sports/MSK physician - they might provide you with a Bessie ultrasound assessment too before recommending further treatment/

Hope this helps.
