I have had it for over 4 weeks. It was on my back, behind my shoulders blade on my left side, and the pain rotates to the front of my chest, and it hurts when I breathe. I went to the doctor 2x for this, and he said is was part of fibro. How lucky, right? Another darn fibro health issue. It is best to rest, and put heat on it, and it does take time. Finally after 4 weeks it is easier, there is less pain, and I can breathe.

Take it easy, take ibuprofen (I take vicoprofen), it helps with the inflammation and pain., which can be extreme when trying to move.

Be good to yourself, and rest.

I, too, am having a really rough time lately. Glad you posted on this because I have had problems with the pain that you describe. I notice that I usually get this particularly before I start my period. Feels like a knife stabbing me in the left shoulder blade area. I am with Kass...Heat and NSAIDS usually help. It is very painful. Hope that you feel better soon

Take Care...
