HELP -CHRONIC SHOULDER BLADE PAIN
Hi everyone! I’m desperately looking for input/advice on pain I’ve been having since I’ve had kids.
I have this constant pain in my shoulders, it feels deep, almost like under my shoulder blade. The pain never has gone away in the past 3 years. I can feel it most when I bring my shoulders together, or lean my head back on something. Very slight/minimal movement triggers this pain. Sometimes it feels that the pain “flares up” and hurts all the way to my neck/base of skull (I’ve included a picture diagram).
I’m positing in this group because maybe someone has experienced something similar? I’m just at a loss and feel hopeless. I am now having a hard time holding my children carrying heavy things.
What I’ve tried:
-chiropractic care
-icy hot/other topical creams
-heating pads
-epsom salt baths
-sports massage/deep tissue massage
-6 weeks physical therapy
-dry needling
-traction machine
-2 MRIS (neck and shoulder area)
-2 xrays
-prescribed pain medication/muscle relaxers/ anti-inflammatory
-visiting a shoulder orthopedic dr (found nothing)
-visiting a second shoulder orthopedic dr for a diff opinion, did a cortisone injection, found nothing and the injection gave no relief)
-referred to a neck orthopedic dr
-had me do a nerve study
-nothing was found, referred me to a neurologist for possible migraine deferred pain
-neurologist found nothing, tried Botox in the shoulder, no relief
-saw a pain mgmt dr and had 3 epidurals and 2 branch blocks with no relief. Also did a trigger point injection, no relief.
Please let me know if you, or anyone you know has experienced something similar. Just trying to get some relief.
