pain between shoulder blades Posted: 09-10-05 13:53pm
:( these few couple of months,i get this
pain in between my shoulder blades,that
runs up the back of my neck,into my jaw,it
only stays for about 20-60 seconds,then
goes away.And I only get it when im
sitting down.This only happens once or
twice a month,and I get no chest pains,my
heart does race,only because I suffer from
panic attacks.Any ideas on what it could
be...

I'm so terribly sorry to here about your
pain. I too live with it constantly so I
can identify with the anxiety that almost
always comes along with it..First and
foremost get to your doctor let him/her do
some prelim tests to determine any kind of
musculoskelital or cardio problems..Ie;
circulation etc. He then, because of your
uncommon symptoms can refer you to a
specialist for a stress test to futher
evaluate your cardiopulminary performance.
I'm guessing you perform a sedentary form
of labor that requires alot of sitting
and/or possibly reading. This could be
transitory or referred pain brougt about
by eye strain or repetitive motion with
respect to the hands and lower arms. This
in turn can cause a spasm in the cervical
area of the spine and cause intermittent
pain. These are questions that only a
qualified proffesional can diagnose within
a controlled environment.. The doctor is
going to want to know some background
issues such as the standard family
history, allergies, past or recent trauma,
and any lifestyle or work related changes,
etc...Also your current state of physical
conditioning will come into play..Your
weight, blood pressure, diet, home and
work environment, and of course age come
into account. The human body is and
extremely resilient vessel with redundant
systems to cover the redundant sytems. My
guess is you have some sort of
nuerological problem in the cervical area
stemming from some sort of injury that is
aggravated by the constant stresses of
your work environment and amplified by the
fear and confusion the anxiety brings. Do
not just accept my word though. Seek
medical help and isolate the problem
before it,god forbid,winds up debilitating
you.
Hope this helps,
all my best,
rick

So you are not going to go now only if it
happens again? Posture is a real
important part in helping with back
problems. I hope your plan helps. Take
care of your self and good luck. :d
