Ok, it's been 13 years of diagnosis. I am normally used to the pain I get from my M.S. but I think I have a new pain to complain about. Tell me if you have had this...
My M.S. is very painful and the pain can pop up wherever it chooses. It's like when I am sleeping my body or T-Cells get together and say "lets choose how we want to make Earl hurt today" Last Sunday I woke up at 2am with BAD pain under my left shoulder blade. Felt like I had a knife in my back. couldn't deep breath, couldn't move, kept me awake most of the night. That lasted until Sunday night. A friend gave it a massage and the ice pack helped and it went away. well,,,,today it moved over to the right shoulder blade and it is as bad as the other was. I have the ice pack on it and hope it goes away. Knife feeling in the back is NOT fun. Anyone ever get such a localized pain? normally my M.S. pain is in arms, legs or fingers. not so localized in a major nerve/muscle. This may not even be MS related but still stinks.

You're gettin' old, Earl.. Sounds like Bursitus(sp) to me. (How do you spell that?) Anyway, I get that stabbing pain, first in one shoulder and then the other.
I think it's the crazy positions in which we hold our bodies, sometimes, that does it. We try to compensate for our bad posture.. Feel better..

Oh yes, Earl, been there...still there. My massage therapist helps with those types of pains a LOT. She can work them out. Maybe you need to see a PT?
Feel better buddy. You been through a LOT lately, it could be some pent up tension too, that's where mine goes! Rotate ice and heat and an antiflammatory - aleve, ibuprofen... or get someone to beat it with a hammer!

Anytime, Earl! When I go in for my weekly massages, she can tell right off the bat if I've had a back week when she starts working on my upper back.

Hi Earl,
I have RSI /TOS {repetitive strain injury/thoracic outlet syndrome} and when I get the pain under the shoulder blade - it's in the rhomboid muscles. They can get easily overstretched - usually due to a forward shoulder posture. {computer use} When you get that pain again maybe try some gentle stretches and posture awareness , bringing shoulders back to relieve the pulling on those muscles. You can even lie on the floor and let gravity help so those shoulders lower back down into a better alignment. You can use an exercise ball , foam roller or even rolled up towel under the spine to help shoulder drop even more - it also opens up the chest muscles if they have shortened due to long term forward posture. It feels good too! and if it relieves the soreness after a few times then you know the source of that particular pain... I just wanted to mention it in case it is something that helps for you or anyone else having similar pain.
