What causes shoulder blade/chest/arm pain in a scoliosis patient?
Patient: I am 20 years old i have scoliosis and also had a bulged disk at the bottom of my back, i suffer from quite a bit of pain but recently i have had a pain in my right shoulder blade when i breathe in, i am also getting pains in my chest when i breathe, my right arm is painful to us and my neck is very stiff and sore on that side.....what have i done? Doctor: Hello,  Since you suffer from scoliosis, from time to time the muscles that support your spine may be fatigued. Physical therapy and stretching exercises may help with your symptoms. See a Spine Specialist for your issues.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
