Quite often, I have pain in my back right by one of my shoulderblades. It happens on either side and it can be pretty painful to move and I can't get comfortable. My question is: what exercises or stretches could I do so that I can stop this from happening so much?

This sounds like muscle spasms,and yes,they can be brutal. Try this.......take a tube sock, fill it with rice(brown or white)about 2-3cups,tie it off,nuke for 2-3 minutes. It will be VERYHOT!!!!!!!!Place a dishcloth or towel between you and the tube sock, lean back to hold in place and relax,the deep moist heat will ease the spasms. Another is the heating pad, use as directed,this is a dry heat and will not penetrate as deep. If you work an office job in front of the computer all day, muscle spasms are very common. While sitting just move around,shift your shoulders up and down,twist your body into stretches. Good luck.

HAVE YOUR DR. REFER YOU TO A HEALTH CLINIC, SUCH AS "HEALTH SOUTH" THAT DO NOTHING BUT SHOW YOU WHAT EXERCISES TO DO TO HELP THE PROBLEM. SOME EXERCISES CAN MAKE IT WORSE. THESE PEOPLE WORK A LOT WITH ATHLETES AND SPINAL INJURIES AND CAN GET YOU ON THE RIGHT EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR YOU. LIKE I SAID SOME EXERCISES CAN MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE AND ALSO DO MORE HARM. SO ASK YOUR DR. FOR A REFERAL AND GET ON THE RIGHT EXERCISE FOR WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU.

Go and visit an acupuncturist. You will be amazed how effective it is for treating pain.
