Hello everyone,
I have a question about pain in the shoulder blade area.
Bill is 3 weeks post op today. Last night I asked how his back felt and he said that his back felt fine but that his shoulder blades hurt. On a scale of 1-10, he said the pain was a 5. And, he said that they have hurt since his surgery. (I just never asked about them before.)
He did not have any rib removal, but he did have an S curve so he has a long (T3-L3) fusion with two rods.
I assume this is not unusual given what he's been through, but I am curious if anyone else has had pain in the shoulder blade area. (It appears to be muscles in the shoulder blade area as opposed to the actual shoulder blades.)
Other than the pain, he is doing very well. I anticipate his going back to school half days by the end of next week. (Something that does make him sad.)
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks.
Susan
