[|Human|] a little over one week ago i had a horrible pain under my left shoulder blade. my chiropractor informed me this was a muscle spasm and to heat/ice. the pain under the blade is gone however now my arm hurts to move, especially when i wake up gets better through the day. i can also feel spasms near my armpit. is this normal? what should i do?
[|AI|]  HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to repetitive stress injury. Short course of NSAID like ibuprofen and muscle relaxant like tizanidine will be helpful for this. Avoid sleeping on the shoulder. Put comforters or cushions on shoulder side. If still there are spasms then check your vitamin B12 and D levels in blood. If those are low then should be taken also. A consultation with an orthopedic is well appreciated. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
