What Is Pain Under Left Shoulder Blade And Left Breast?
Yesterday I had all the pain I could stand. For a week now, I have had extreme burning pain under my left shoulder blade which radiated through to the front and into my breast. Sitting and driving made it almost unbearable. So, I went to the ER last night for fear of a heart attack. The EKG was fine, the chest X ray was fine, the gall bladder testing was fine, so the doc concluded that it was pleurisy or bursitis. He gave me muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds which I have been taking since I got home. They don’t make the pain go away but they make me sleep. I’m alternating hot pad and ice pack but they only provide temp relief. I tried to work from home today but when I took a rather tense phone call, I thought I was gonna die. Stress obviously makes it worse. So it sounds like there are a lot of us out there. I hate this. My poor husband is really getting tired of hearing me complain all the time. Anybody got any better cures????
