[font=Arial]Text[/f]<font color="red">Text</font>PLEASE HELP, I AM A 44 YEAR OLD WHITE FEMALE, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MENAPAUSE AT AGE 38, AND AN HIATIAL HERNIA AT AGE 35.
FOR THE PAST 14 DAYS, I HAVE THIS CONSTANT NAGGING
DULL PAIN UNDERNEATH MY LEFT SHOULDER BLADE (URQ).
IT NEVER GOES AWAY, IT IS DULL AND SOMETIMES PIERCING.
SOMETIMES IT RADIATES FROM MY SHOULDER BLADE, DOWN TO
MY LEFT COCYX AREA (LLQ), ALTHOUGH THIS PAIN FEELS MORE ACHEY, LIKE IT'S BRUISED.
I HAVE TRIED ARTHRITIS CREAMS AND RUBS, HOT PADS, ICE,
AND MANY OTHER REMEDIES, BUT THE PAIN ONLY SUBSIDES
FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THEN RETURNS.
pLEASE HELP, SO MISERABLE.

I would call your doctor ASAP and get evaluated.

Otherwise, we cannot give medical advice over the internet. Without actually seeing a patient and doing a physical assessment, it would be irresponsible for a nurse (or doctor) to try to diagnose and treat your problem.

I DIDN'T ASK ANYONE TO DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM-
I ASKED FOR ANY IDEAS? WHY IS THIS SITE CALLED ASK A NURSE, AND YOU ASK AND YOU GET POLITICAL B/S AND NO MEDICAL HELP WHAT SO EVER?
WON'T BOTHER YOU AGAIN-SORROW TO HAVE WASTED YOUR PRECIOUS TIME!
THANKS FOR NOTHING!

I am sorry you are offended. You mistakenly thought the site was for medical help. I can see how that might happen by the name of this topic. This is a site for nurses and students that are asking for advice in their careers....Sorry about the misunderstanding, but you really do need to see a doctor about that pain. It could be so many things. You need a workup that includes X-Rays and a CT scan of that shoulder/chest and or abdomen. Good Luck to you
