burning sensation under shoulder blade after eating
Posted: 02-09-08 22:32pm

19 year old male. I occasionally get a burning sensation under my right shoulderblade. The pain can be felt sometimes when taking a deep breath. Also, sometimes a bit after meals the pain acts up with heartburn. I've also developed a sore throat, I don't believe is related. What I find is interesting is that I do not have difficulty swallowing, and the pain occurs after I eat rather than before. I've had a chest x-ray to rule out lung problems. I have also had bloodwork done that came back normal, and a CT scan that showed nothing irregular. I was thinking maybe it's a pinched nerve since my right side of my back is in pain when I stretch it sometimes. I haven't been losing weight, in fact I've been gaining weight

Does this sound like esophogeal cancer or something different?

When do you get the most intensive burning sensation, after meal or when you are changing your posture?
Do you get frequent heartburns?
Can you noticed if the heartburn sensation is spreading between your shoulder blades?

An occasional cause of morning sore throat is regurgitation of stomach acids up into the back of the throat.

You might want to consult with a physio-therapist. It might be a spasmism (Muscle that is in permanent spasm)...
