I do have back issues but this is new and a different kind of pain. I have disc herniations and buldges throughout my spine.

I get horror pain between my shoulder blades and have for years. I also get it in my chest wondering if I'm having a heart attack. My diagnoses is costrochondritis. It's the muscles around the heart that become inflamed and it is the chest and in some cases like mine between shoulder blades. For me, a heating pad does help, but not much else. I so empathize with you. Try the heat and let me know if it helps you. God Bless you.

I've always had this sort of ache in my upper back but it's sorely been getting worse and worse. Seeing my doctor tomorrow. I do have a tens but it feels like my spine not muscles. And can't really put tend on bone. Hurts like the dickens.

I get this but mine is probably due to the spinal stenosis/fibro/chronic pain syndrome combo. Other pain does "feed" fibro unfortunately but I would talk to the Dr about it.

This was one of the first pain symptoms I had. It is so painful!
