What causes intermittent pain between shoulder blades, back pain and stomach ache?
Patient: I have been experiencing pain intermittently for a month or two... sometimes just once a week, sometimes more frequently. The pain usually begins in my upper back between my shoulder blades and increases over a quick period of time, ending in upper and lower back pain, more like a strong ache. And then also in my gut/stomach area below my ribs... all at once. I feel nauseaus. it usually occurs in the evenings and lasts into the night. At times it carries over into the next day. I am wondering if it is an ulcer or something more serious. It has increased this past week... Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.As you have pain in the upper back, shoulder blades and lower back you need a thorough clinical Musculoskeletal exmaination.As most aches are muscular in nature but post examination we can come to a conclusion if the pain is related to the pinched nerve.Also, such cases in my clinical practice responds well to physcial therapy.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
