What causes pain in left shoulder blade?

There are many reasons for back pain in the left shoulder blade area. For example, sitting for a long time can cause stiffness in the back muscles and poor blood circulation, which causes pain. The most common reason is cervical spondylosis. When the bones in the cervical spine undergo degenerative changes, it often causes symptoms of soreness, poor blood circulation, poor oxygen supply to the brain, and many other manifestations.

What is the reason for back pain at the left shoulder blade? 1. Back pain caused by cervical spondylosis

How can cervical spondylosis cause back pain when it occurs in the cervical spine? Little do people know that the posterior branches of the spinal nerves of the fourth, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae extend to the back and control the skin and muscles of the upper back.

When degenerative changes occur in the cervical spine, if the posterior branches of the spinal nerves of the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae are pulled, back pain will occur. In fact, neck and back pain, upper limb weakness, numbness of the fingers, dizziness, nausea, and even blurred vision and difficulty swallowing are all symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

Therefore, the back pain caused by cervical spondylosis is very fatal. Patients must go to the hospital for treatment in time, otherwise it will cause greater harm to the body.

Therefore, the back pain caused by cervical spondylosis is very fatal, and patients must go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Due to improper neck movement or bad sleeping position, local muscles are sprained and the pain involves the back muscles. The medical history is short, the tenderness point is fixed and located at the injured muscle site, which is more common in the upper inner part of the scapula, and is accompanied by muscle spasm. Obviously tender cord-like spasmodic muscle bundles can be felt, and the movement of the neck and back is obviously limited.

3. Back pain caused by rheumatism

Rheumatism is mostly an autoimmune disease with a hidden and slow onset and a long course. It invades the joints, bones, muscles, blood vessels and related soft tissues, and can cause a certain degree of back pain. The back pain will be aggravated in cool, windy and damp weather.

4. Back pain caused by frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder can cause shoulder joint pain. As the disease progresses, the pain range will continue to increase, and some patients will experience back pain.

5. Back pain caused by ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is also very likely to cause chronic generalized or persistent low back pain, tenderness over the spinous processes, stiffness in the back and waist after getting up in the morning, aggravated back and waist pain when leaning back, improved after activity, and easy fatigue after standing or walking for a long time.

Patients often present with limited movement of the lower back and waist. Physical examination may reveal tenderness of the lumbar spinous processes and paraspinal muscle spasms. In the later stages, muscle atrophy and even hunchback deformity may occur.
