Why there is pain between the scapula?

Pain between the shoulder blades is a fairly common clinical manifestation. It should be noted that it can indicate a variety of different diseases. Very often, the causes of such sensations are not recognized in time. This leads to rather lengthy examinations and application of varying complexity of therapy. That is why to reveal why the back hurts between the shoulder blades, it follows from the listing of a long list of diseases for which this symptom is characteristic.

The causes of unpleasant sensations in the upper interblade part of the back

The pain between the shoulder blades is quite wide. It can be sharp and sharp, but can be aching, chronic or flaring. In rare cases, such feelings are manifested with a feeling of weight on the back, icing, creeping "goosebumps" or usual numbness. However, it should be noted that in all these cases, the pain between the scapula is always an unpleasant and discomforting phenomenon, which has a considerable impact on human life.

The main factors that provoke such pain are:

• sedentary work;
• Complete absence of any physical exertion (for example, elementary charging, exercises in the pool or gym, etc.);
• Sharp lifting of heavy objects, running, jumping, etc. (especially if such actions were performed by an untrained person);
• sedentary lifestyle;
• Also a person can complain that he constantly hurts between his shoulder blades after receiving various injuries (falls, backstrokes, car accidents, etc.).

In the event that all of the above reasons do not have anything to do with you, then, most likely, this symptom means that you are ill. In order to understand what diseases can cause a strong or barely perceptible pain between the shoulder blades, consider their list in more detail:

• Osteochondrosis of the spinal column, in which the excessive deposition of calcium salts in the joints plays an important role;
• Mechanical damage to the structures of the cervical or thoracic parts of the spine (such deviation may occur due to dislocation, bruise, fall from height, etc.);
• Scoliosis in the cervical or thoracic region, which often arise due to uncomfortable posture during sitting, walking, etc .;
• Kyphosis, or rather, excessive curvature of the spine in its upper part;
• Kyphoscoliosis, namely: a violation of posture, which occurs due to a combination of curvature of the spine to the left or right with the kyphosis in the thoracic region;
• Spondylarthrosis, which is a form of osteoarthritis;
• Protrusion of the disk in the spinal column, namely: in the thoracic region (in another way, a herniated intervertebral disk, which has just begun to develop).

Also, the causes of pain between the shoulder blades may be chest, as well as cervical radiculitis, intercostal neuralgia, humeric periarthrosis, coronary heart disease, infectious diseases, pathology of the mediastinal organs, pleura or lungs (pleurisy, pneumonia), etc.
