I've had that exact same pain bewteen the shoulder blades -- and fear of heart
attack, expecially since reading heart attacks in women often have as a
symptom of pain between shoulder blades. Sometimes my arm also has the same
pain and a squeezing feeling. I don't have it constantly, but often enough. I
didn't have it at the onset of TM but started having it about a week after. I
thought it was from lying in bed so much, but it has continued even though I'm
mobile and active now. Tylenol takes the edge off. Just about the time I
decide I need to see a dr., it fades. Have you had this since onset?
