Pain near left shoulder blade

Hi all, hoping somebody has had a similar pain and can reasure me before I yet again start going omg omg and panicking lol

Over the last few weeks I have notice a sharp pain behind my left shoulder blade, at first I didn’t notice it much but it was there, now it’s more constant but only hurts when I do certain movements (like streach above head or across chest) or press it - that always works! Has anyone else had a similar pain? Sort of hoping it’s related to Lympoedema (I have an appointment coming up to determine if I have it) as I can live with that… I made a mistake and looked at Dr. Google and Ofc there are a million and one reasons for shoulder pain some of which are not good, I know I should probably get it checked out by the Doc but being stupidly stubborn as I have had enough of docs to last me a good while yet and spread getting bad news :frowning: I know I will have to go at some point to get it checked but was really hoping I’d have no problems before my Oct holiday :frowning:

Anyone have any advice or should I just bite the bullet now? (Hate to think what this will do to my holiday insurance!)

Many thanks

Dear Moonbeam, my advice is go to your GP. I had a dilemma about a cough, post surgery. In that I kept thinking " should I bother my GP ?". Anyway, I went today and he diagnosed a chest infection, now on antibiotics. I’m so relieved. So, do the same and get yourself checked out.
good luck
