Pain Above/around My Shoulder Blade When Sitting, What Could It Be From? And Anything To Help It?

July 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Shoulder

I have a severe “stabbing” pain on the left side of my upper back (above and around the shoulder blade). It is at its worst when I am seated, almost unbearable at times. Any ideas as to what this could be from? Maybe posture?
Also, any suggestions for relief of pain?
Thanks so much!

    heya – it is very likely that it’s to do with posture because if you slump around your back is crumpling up with your muscles or it maybe something to do with the way you are sleeping. I would consult your doctor to ask for some medication to ease the pain. In the meantime just alter your posture by walking around with a straight back and broaden your shoulders without looking silly. it worked for me. Also try some simply back and shoulder stretches. i hope this helps and don’t worry it doesn’t sound very serious -x-
