I have a strange ache near back under shoulder blade on left side of body.?

The ache feels like the type of knot or ache you can get from muscle strain but I have not done anything to cause this as I have been VERY inactive lately. It hurts the most when I bed over to the left side. It sometimes aches when I breathe in or out deeply but not all the time.

It started on Sunday morning. I woke up with it and my friends and I had been eating a lot and drinking heavily the night before when on Vacation. I have been drinking a lot of water and not been eating too much due loss of appetite. It does seem to get a bit duller if I take 200 mg Ibuprofen and seems to improve a little bit in the evening.

I am overweight, have high blood pressure but not on meds. No diabetes. I do not exercise much but am eating a mostly healthy diet with the intent to lose weight. I was only off my diet for a week when on vacation.

I often have dull back pain on both sides in upper back and have for many years. Sometimes I have lower back pain after a lot of standing.

Thanks
Thank you for that suggestion about the rib. I have never heard of this either and I was sleeping on the couch in an odd position Saturday into Sunday night. How long does it usually take to get better?
I also wanted to add…I have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning which is odd. I do have a slightly distended upper abdomen but no pain in abdomen…just some occasional heartburn.
Thanks for the answer about Pleuritis. I have had that before and this is not it this time. The ache seems a TINY bit duller since I woke up today but that could also mean because I have other muscle aches from carrying a few heavy things yesterday.

    gonna sound crazy but you might have a rib out of place….i never knew you could do this till i happened to me. it can be from coughing,,,sneezing,,,sleeping or moving just right etc. i do it alot when i have a bad cold and have horrible coughing spells. the first time it happened i ended up in the ER from the pain,,and of course it does not show on an xray and they thought i was only looking for drugs.
    my suggestion is find a good chiropractor who can help get you back in line.
    (my brother and i both have problems with this and it can be very bothersome)

    It sounds like you have may have pleuritis – inflammation of the pleura, (Pleura, it’s a serous membrane investing the lungs). Antibiotics can clear that up.
