Stabbing pain under shoulder blade

Stabbing pain under shoulder blade

Hello,

I've had stabbing pain under my right shoulder blade for a week now. It's worst with deep breaths and sneezes. Can you help?

Hello,

pain under the right shoulder blade that worsens when inhaling and sneezing may be caused by a rib blockage. I recommend visiting an experienced physical therapist or a doctor, who can examine you to identify the cause with certainty and propose treatment. Until then, feel free to try the chest pain and stretching exercise guides here on our website.
