Shoulder blade pain

Has anyone else experienced a dull pain around the shoulder blade? Mine is on the left side. It kind of comes and goes. Then I'll feel it in the upper shoulder.

    Hi Shar 

    ummmmmmm your still looking for things to stress you out .. Naughty girl..

    the whole body feels achey and tight during menopause ..

    can be something different every day ..

    and stressing makes it 100 times worse 😳

    chill ..

      You're right. I shouldn't be looking for things to worry about. It's just hard to imagine that your hormones can do so many devious things to your body. And when you're used to being in good health all your life and then you're suddenly hit with all these symptoms; it can be pretty frightening.

    Hi Shar

    Yes, yes, yes, this was how mine all started, except mine started in my right shoulder.  I still worry with all the new symptoms but there is no point as it is all hormonal and all will pass eventually!!

    Take care

    Sharcer,Try not to worry like jay says, I've had the shoulder pain in my left shoulder blade and my neck for gthe last four weeks but i blame myself as iv been having really bad headache so i was trying sleep almost sat up with three pillows but this did my neck in and i obviously didnt do my shoulder any favours. Its ok now so believe me it will pass just give it time. sending you a gentle hug x

      hi anxious face 

      how are you hun

      i remember feeling all tense alot in peri, some days i had shoulder and stiff neck, if your stressed it gets worse.. 

      Sometimes i struggled turning my head when driving on a few occasions.

      i too have more than one pillow, infact i have two, they have to be feather and down ( more down than feather) as i cant get comfy ..

      i always rearranging them to get head just right to get in restful mode 😏

      right old pain 

      hehehehe that is menopause for you 

      big hugs my lovely

    Hi..

    We all have sooo many symptoms! 

    I suffer the shoulder pain and I put mine down to a possible link with anxiety and or digestive problems.. which I believe are due to peri! 

    Like the others say try not to stress.. Though I should listen to my own advice!! I'm the world's worst!!

    I'm definitely finding that talking on here and reading all the chats helps though.. 

    Take care

    Hi, sounds like youre experiencing a much shared symptom. Menopause presents us with so many symptoms, aches and pains. I think you should mention this to your GP. There are some simple questions and checks they can do to ensure this is not something more sinister, and set your mind at rest. One less worry for you! Good luck.
