Severe sharp pain in spine between shoulder blades

@sueinmn Thanks for the reply I appreciate the info. Some of the X-rays and MRI’s have shown some deterioration in my right hip but they say it isn’t bad enough to fool with. I have had everything from head to toe scanned in some way. I’ve even been checked for cancer. My rheumatologist has been working very diligently to find the cause but is at a loss at this point. She has mentioned possibly checking into seeing someone at Mayo Clinic which I’m not opposed to doing but I’m just so disappointed by constantly hearing “everything is normal” from everyone I’ve been to. I’m just so depressed from all this.

@larry29 Another out-of-the-box idea -
I had spinal pain in my neck, it turned out to be "referred" from knots in the upper back muscles, trapping/irritating nerves. I know the last thing we want to do when in serious pain is PT, but I was desperate. It took a rehab physical therapist ( I was referred by my pain rehab clinic) working gradually with myofascial release (MFR) and other manipulations, plus gentle stretching and work on my part, to break the cycle.
You usually find such a PT through your docs, and they are not the same people who oversee post-surgical protocols, they are a last resort when everyone else gives up.
Have you tried physical therapy?
