Hi @helenannmarie55
I am right there with you, the pain between the shoulder blades is truly awful. I've not been on this website 3 weeks because I was suffering so much. I also get chest pain, this time I couldn't even let the duvet rest on my chest!
For such severe pain I can only recommend you ask you doctor to prescribe Buprenorphine Transdermal patch, it's what I use. Have they referred you to a pain specialist? Everyone reacts differently to pain meds, the pain specialist will be able to try different methods of controlling your pain, they also perform celiac plexus blocks.

No pain specialist yet. Thank you that will be my next step.

I'm sorry to learn that you were in so much pain, @ukmalsman; may I ask if there's anything you could share about how you coped and managed the pain? I'm glad to see you back on Connect.
