Shoulder blade pain

[Cien]

I had RA diagnosed in early 2018 and I am in remission. Initially I was on MTX 20mg weekly which was tapered off at a dose of 2.5mg at a time, and the last one was done in February 2021

I have had this right shoulder pain for over 2 months now. So far I had 5 treatments with a private chiropractor and the pain gets slightly better but it can move to my upper arm, under arm or elbow occasionally. I can move my arms without difficulty but the chronic nagging pain persists. Any home machine can help? Or to see a physiotherapist to get a better outcome?

Do you have a diagnosis from the chiropractor?Once you know why you have the pain, it is easier to work out what sort of treatment to have. Physiotherapists are usually good at diagnosing musculo-skeletal pain.

Thanks. The diagnosis is tight muscle around the shoulder blade because of bad posture.

See a sports Hesiod for my chronic back ( and other pain).I’m not sporty,but get better results from a sports physio than a standard physio..

I had back pain through the first lockdown, my physio has relieved that.

I’ve started going monthly,she does acapuncture as well,which helps.

I. Going monthly now to keep me ticking over.

I’ve got a lung disease and auto conditions,physio is one thing that keeps me mobile.

Thank you. Sport physio is also recommended by a friend who has back pain. My shoulder blade pain is acute compared with the back pain. Thanks again , will try a sport physio soon.
