What should I do if my back hurts and my shoulder blades hurt repeatedly?Women's back pain and shoulder blade pain could be caused by many reasons, and corresponding measures needed to be taken according to different causes.
** 1. Common causes and treatment methods **
1. ** cervical spine problem **
- If it was caused by cervical vertebra disease (such as cervical vertebra arthrosis, cervical disc protrusion, etc.), the nerve that inundated the scapula region (the dorsal scapula nerve) might be blocked due to the cervical vertebra problem, especially when there was a problem with the C4-C5 and C5-C6. It was recommended that they go to the hospital to take an anterolateral X-ray of the neck first. If it was confirmed that it was caused by the cervical spine, he could go to the rehabilitation department to find a psychiatrist to adjust the technique. Painkillers might not be effective.
2. ** Upper Thoracic Spine Dislocation **
- Long-term working at a desk or playing with a mobile phone with your head lowered may cause the upper cervical spine to be dislocated. In this case, the change in the arrangement of the vertebrae and the displacement of the joints at the cervicothoracic junction would affect the movement of the scapula and cause pain. You can go to the hospital to take a chest X-ray examination. If this is the reason, you can go to the rehabilitation department to seek manual adjustment treatment.
3. Myofascitis
- It was mostly related to bad living habits and working posture habits (such as long-term bending over the desk and improper lowering of the head), which would cause problems with the muscles attached to the shoulder blade. For this kind of situation, if the pain is light, pay attention to rest, change the chest, hunchback, head forward and other abnormal postures, and usually exercise more. You can do something like holding the chair with one hand, wrapping the other hand around the head, slightly lowering the head, bending the head as much as possible, maintaining it for 10 seconds, and then changing to the other side to continue pulling for 10 seconds. If the pain is severe, anti-inflammatory and painkiller drugs such as meloxicam tablets and diclofenac tablets can be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
4. ** Peri-shoulder disease **
- For example, frozen shoulder, shoulder cuff injury, and so on. Frozen shoulder was more common in women than in men, and the left shoulder was more common than the right shoulder, which was a degenerate aging disease. Rotator cuff injury was caused by external force that damaged the tissues around the shoulder joint. For diseases around the shoulder joint, you should seek medical attention in time and receive corresponding treatment according to the degree of injury, such as physical therapy and rehabilitation training.
5. ** Gallbladder disease (if right shoulder blade pain)**
- Although the probability of diseases such as cholecystectomy causing pain in the right scapula was low, it was also possible. He had to pay attention to distinguishing it from other diseases. If there are symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, etc., you should pay special attention to whether it is gallbladder disease. You need to go to the hospital for a gallbladder-related examination. After diagnosis, you should be treated according to the doctor's suggestion.
6. ** Heart and lung disease (if left shoulder blade is painful)**
- For example, heart diseases and lung diseases such as heartache and embosom may be related to pain in the left scapula. It is necessary to pay attention to whether there are any changes in the precordium, chest tightness, short of breath, and other related departments. If there are related symptoms, seek medical advice in time, perform a heart and lung examination, and receive corresponding treatment after diagnosis.
7. ** Serratus Anterius problem (pain in the lower corner of the scapula)**
- It was more common in women. The compression of the long pectoral nerve would cause pain in the area where the serratus muscle was attached, especially when the hand was raised like combing hair. If you suspect this is the reason, you can go to the doctor to check your neck (because the long Thoracic nerve comes out from the C5 - 6 and C6 - 7 foramen) and treat it according to the doctor's suggestion.
8. ** Superior Spinous Ligament Problem (Lower Head and Back Pain Worsening)**
- If the lower back pain was aggravated by lowering the head, there was no obvious change or reduction in the back pain, and the local pain was obvious when pressing, it might be a problem with the supraspinous ligaments. Pay attention to changing the habit of lowering one's head for a long time. If necessary, seek medical treatment.
** 2. Other precautions **
If the above causes are not found through routine examination, you should closely observe whether your pain is combined with other symptoms, such as diet, cough, etc., and communicate with the doctor in time to prevent missed diagnosis of special causes. At the same time, maintaining good living habits, such as regular diet, work and rest, avoiding long-term wet and cold environments, and avoiding long-term fatigue, etc., were also helpful in relieving pain.
