Shocked Severe shoulder blade pain??

Has anyone had rib resection/scalenectomy surgery and even 7 days post op still suffer such a pain in the shoulder blade?? The shoulder/incision site is just fine- the left shoulder blade has hurt from the get go- the second I got out of the OR- it was the only PAIN I've felt. I've done and continue with breathing exercises, which have been going fine. However, breathing deep, sneezing or coughing (Oh GOD, that hurts! ) causes so much pain all in the left shoulder blade. Ideas?? What the hell did they do to me in there???

Thanks,
Jocelyn
