Ahh. Panic here. Occasionally get upper back and shoulder blade ache. Got it yesterday after weeks without it. Got my boy to rub my back with his knuckles and it felt better. This morning all ok then after a long walk it hurts again. Used a foam back roller. Now when I swallow solid food about 1 sec after swallowing it twinges in my right shoulder blade. Only this afternoon. Now I'm thinking I have cancer or something. Anybody experienced anything like this? 😢
people get all kinds of aches and pains. 99% are nothing serious . stress and anxiety can cause upper back, neck and shoulder pain. I had it so bad that I had to go to physical therapy. The muscles get extremely tight with stress.
but I always suggest that everybody should have a complete physical check up at least once a year. It really does not sound like cancer at all. sounds more like muscular tightness and twinges. What really helps me is when I go get a massage
if you have tight muscles down your back and neck, walking can sometimes trigger aching. See how you feel in a week or so and you can always call your doctor for suggestions. Sometimes a nice hot bath will loosen muscles up. Take care
my upper back started hurting too. also been having shortness of breath… so the health anxiety in me told me its my lungs… but the little common sense i have left in me says “its anxiety, relax”.
