What is the cause of shoulder blade pain in the back? Differential diagnosis is very important

We should pay attention to shoulder blade pain. Many reasons can cause shoulder blade pain in the back, such as visceral diseases and periarthritis of the shoulder. Acupuncture and cupping can relieve the pain. Pay attention to more exercise and avoid maintaining a posture for a long time.

1. Shoulder and back pain: There are many patients with back pain, and the common cause is local bone or soft tissue diseases in the shoulder and back. Other shoulder blade pains may be caused by organ diseases reflecting to the shoulder and back or tumors in other parts metastasizing to the shoulder and back. Therefore, in clinical treatment of back pain, one should not treat the shoulder pain by treating the shoulder, or the back pain by treating the back. Blindly using treatment methods such as massage, scraping, cupping, etc. will cause the patient to lose the best opportunity for treatment.

2. Continuous severe shoulder pain: often caused by shoulder dislocation. There is a clear history of trauma.

3. Referred shoulder pain: Shoulder pain or hypersensitivity to pain caused by visceral diseases is called referred pain. Symptoms appear slowly, with dull pain or discomfort that does not completely match the direction of the nerves, and the area is vague and the pain is vague.

4. Diffuse dull pain and radiating pain in the shoulder area: Diffuse dull pain and radiating pain in the shoulder area are the clinical manifestations of suprascapular nerve entrapment. Suprascapular nerve entrapment is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. Some foreign scholars believe that this syndrome accounts for 1% to 2% of all shoulder pain patients.

5. Shoulder pain and discomfort: Shoulder pain and discomfort are also known as scapulohumeral periarthritis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, and frozen shoulder. Those with prominent shoulder joint dysfunction are also known as frozen shoulder.
