Left shoulder blade muscle... stinking, sharp, burning pain

[mightymouse23]

I get this extremely bad knot in my left shoulder blade muscle area....between the blade and my spinal chord area... when i stuff envelopes or cook or fish.. it gets excruciatingly bad.. i know its just one of the muscles.. but why is it ONLY the LEFT side all the time and how can i minimize the pain because it gets to where i cant hold my head up sometimes.  It was knotted so bad the other day, it started to make my neck have a numbing/stinging excruciating feeling going up my spine from the beginning sore spot.. i just dont know how to cure it...

Hello Joe,
I have severe pain and thats why i was googling and found your symptoms matching yours. I hope your pain is over as this post of yours is of 2011. I have the same issue in my left side shoulder blade lower curving part. after applying balms like tiger bams and warm water bottle. It use to go away in 2 days however now its been a week.  Yesterday Pain was gone in the morning however there was still stiffness in my back , I felt. and the pain came again in the afternoon. Went to the doctor and he gave me ( as usual since 5 years now) pain killer and told me to go to gym and sauna. That helps however comes again. It happens only in winter time ans as I live in europe, Its 9 months winter. Could you or somebody else that reads this  has a remedy to it and share it please. My mail is slang underscore babs at the rate of yahoo *******.

I use DMSO (dimethyl sulphoxide).  I buy from Dr. Jacob's lab because he did the research for 50 years.  He's 93 now and still in great health.  It is a miracle and has a cult following.  When you put it on, you may feel a tingling.  Make sure you put it on with clean skin as it is absorbed directly into the skin and what is on the skin is absorbed also.  I'm 73 and have just started treating a pulled back muscle.  I drink is 1 tsp in a little oange juice. and I apply it directly on the area.  My dog ran after a squirrel and jerked my back.  It works a number of ways byt it is absorbed into the cells and repairs them.  Most people won't use it as it gives you a garlic breath odor - some don't get it, but I use chlorophyll drops.  It's the modern day aspirin.  The cures are unreal.  CURE.  I've read every book I can find.  I am retired from teaching high school and college chemistry myself.  Good luck.

I am experiencing something similar, but have recently gotten over some sort of virus or somethign 104.5 fever was the highest, but the coughing was the worst, I think I pulled a muscle coughing, can't afford dr. but that might be it, just an idea, hope you get better

I suspect the pain could be related to disc disease in your neck and not a shoulder problem.

For a first step, I'd see the doc and get an xray.

If it is the beginning of cervical disc disease, a good physical therapist can help with pain and increasing your range of motion.
