    I'm now into my 3 wk with this horrid horrid condition. I do Olbas Oil a few times per day..and ice packs. . Anti inflammatory tabs 3 x day..turmeric as well in my juices. At night I take Panadoll Night Pain.

    ..I just hope I won't have this heaviness and pain between my Scapula for ever. Its crazy debilitating. .Hate it...
