3 weeks ago I pulled a muscle or damaged a nerve near my left shoulder blade. The burning pain is excruciating. Ibuprofen helps a lot but I'm scared to take them every day. Will it heal on it's own and if so when? Or do I need professional help, like an osteopath?

You need to see a Doctor , your own GP os A+E

I went to my GP a few years ago. He explained that this area around the shoulder and into the neck can be very problematic as it is so complex.

He gave me some exercises which helped enormously and if it comes back I just do them again.

Hope it clears up soon.

Perhaps it could be a frozen shoulder?
Your gp would probably prescribe amytryptiline (sp) and an appointment to see a physiotherapist.
