My dd was fused 5 yrs ago at the age of 15. Her fusion is from T4-L4. She's been doing well the past several years with only minor aches and pains. Before Thanksgiving, she started feeling sick and had a sore throat (it wasn't strep or flu). Along with not feeling well, she also started having a lot of pain under her left shoulder blade. She came home for Thanksgiving and was supposed to return Sunday, but she was in so much pain that she ended up staying through Wed., which was unfortunate, because she needed to be back at school preparing for finals. She managed the pain with prescription ibuprofen but it was upsetting her stomache so cut back as much as possible. She said the pain fluctuates but still there after 2 weeks.
Has anyone else experienced this type of pain after a viral illness? Any ideas what it's caused by and best way to treat it?
