Duration of pain between the shoulder blades

The duration of the pain between the shoulder blades depends on the cause and the success of the therapy. Muscular pain can last from a few days to several weeks, depending on its severity. Severe strains and torn muscle fibers require a long healing period.

In the case of complaints of the thoracic spine, care must be taken to ensure that the back pain does not become chronic. If the pain is not treated sufficiently in time, it can persist for a long time. If the pain lasts 6 months, it is already called chronic pain.

The duration of organic diseases cannot be predicted. Heart diseases, for example, can worsen over the years. Medication and surgical therapies can often halt the progression of the disease but cannot cure it.
