My husband suffers with severe COPD and the only time he gets pain in his back is when he has an infection especially as it is brewing! It might be a good idea to get to the doctor and get it checked, it maybe you just slept in a funny position - but you need to be careful. Take care, good luck TAD xx

I have copd but don't suffer with what you describe beyond the normal age-related stuff! Hope you get it sorted out...

I have copd and a pain like you describe, only in my right shoulder blade. Massage has failed to shift it. I put it down to too much time on the computer?

I have IPF. I get a lot of pain in my shoulder, I've also put it down to the way I sit using laptop and doing my knitting. I went to see rheumatologist and told him but he wasn't interested so I will just try to sit up straighter!!

I get the same pain but it is nerve related. Accupuncture helps a lot.
