Pulsating Shoulder Blade Pain Novels & Stories

SLAM. By the middle of the first period, my whole body was screaming in pain. My left shoulder was badly bruised, and every single breath I took felt like a sharp knife poking my chest. They were trying to tire me out completely. They wanted to break my bones so I could not skate fast or use my quick moves anymore.

His shoulder caught Naska full-force, the impact jarring through her bones like a hammer blow. She stumbled, gasping as pain shot through her arm. The grip of her thin slippers lost purchase on the polished stone, her feet sliding out from under her. One arm flailed out desperately, her fingernails scraping against marble as she caught the frame of a column just in time to keep from collapsing completely. The cold stone bit into her palm, sharp and unforgiving. The jolt to her shoulder was sharp, radiating down her arm in waves, but it barely registered—nothing compared to the sharper crack blooming in her chest like ice spreading across water. Her breath caught in her throat, ragged and thi

She stood for a heartbeat with her palms braced on her thighs, blinking hard, letting the sensation settle, letting her pulse stop stuttering like it had been startled awake. The buckles of the corset top caught her eye. Her shoulders tightened, knowing it was going to be difficult. She tried anyway—twisting, reaching, fumbling. She lifted one elbow higher, shoulder protesting. She tried again. Pain pinched sharp and bright through her shoulder and neck, a warning that made her suck in a breath through her teeth.

My ankles swung slightly in the air, as my bare feet hit the cold floor. My feet still ached a lot more than I wanted to admit, although most of my pains came from my legs. I was used to pain, even though I hated it, but my shoulders hurt, especially over my left shoulder blade. And my ribs were sore…well, more sore than they usually would be. I assumed it was because I didn’t exercise properly recently.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t exactly in the right state to think straight after what happened last night. I tried to sit up, but a sharp sting shot through my shoulder, making me wince in pain. Something was wrong. The pain felt… alive. Every time I inhaled, there was a faint vibration under my skin—not from my heartbeat, but from the wound on my shoulder. I quickly pulled the blanket aside. A strip of white gauze was wrapped there, but through its thin layers, I could see a faint glow—silver, pulsing softly, like it was… breathing.

The specific kind of slowness meant she wanted me to see exactly what was coming with enough time to feel it fully before it happened. My arms had gone past the dull ache and into that sharp, burning numbness that lived in the joint when it had been forced back at the wrong angle for too long. Every time I pulled against Eric and Josh's grip even slightly, the pain just climbed higher into my shoulder and settled there which made me understand that there was nothing I could do.

Aria The pain in my shoulder had dulled from a sharp, stabbing agony to a persistent throb by that evening. Dr. Edward insisted that I stay in bed, but the moment he left me, I started to move. I winced as I pulled a loose sweater over my head, careful to avoid jostling my bandaged shoulder. The wound was healing—werewolf regeneration ensuring I wouldn’t be out of commission for long—but the area around the entry point remained tender. Every movement sent a spasm of discomfort through my left side.

Chapter 14: The Confession The phantom pain in my shoulder lingered like a ghost that refused to leave. I woke up to it again the next morning, a deep, throbbing ache that pulsed in time with Callan’s old injury. The link had only grown stronger overnight. Every small movement he made in his sleep sent fresh echoes through my body. I lay there staring at the ceiling, breathing through the discomfort, trying to convince myself I could handle another day of pretending everything was normal.

​Pain. ​That was the first thing. Not a thought, not a sound. Just a white, blinding, all-consuming fire. It was a different pain from before. The gash on my back was a deep, searing sea of agony, but this... this was a sharp, jagged, wrong thing. ​My shoulder. My left shoulder. ​I was floating in a black, sticky void, and the only thing that tethered me to the world was this new, sickening, grinding pain.

Blair kicked off her boots without caring where they landed and staggered toward the bed. The moment she lay down on her back, she winced. I froze and asked in concern. “Are you okay?” She waved a hand like it was nothing, but her face tightened for a second. “Yeah, it just… happens sometimes.” “What happens?” I asked gently, moving towards her. She shifted slightly, and pressed her palm against her side. “My ribs, and sometimes my shoulder. They're just old injuries.” She let out a short breath. “After the accident, I feel a little pain now and then. It comes and goes.”
