It's my mother. She has had shoulder blade pain and at times in her left arm and back.

It went away yesterday and came back today as bad as it was during the few days before. She had been lifting my father, with my help for the last several weeks. I'm thinking that a related issue would be stress from my siblings being adamant about something.

My father hasn't needed as much and she hasn't been lifting him, though she believes he does just because he has been the last several weeks. It appears exercises he should be doing more of are helping.

She went to an urgent care today, they said they couldn't do anything with PA's there. They wouldn't be able to right prescriptions. They told her to go to the ER. The ER also only had a PA as well, that could and did write prescriptions. She was prescribed and Cyclobenzaprine, Hydrocodone, Prednisone. She was told to take the Prednisone when the first two are finished.

The diagnoses is strained muscles with osteoporosis being a related issue.
