Hi Kathy, of course you probably already know that there is no single answer as to how long any pain will last. It depends on several factors including the source/cause of the pain. The first thing that I always recommend to a client experiencing pain of an unknown or persistent origin is that they see their physician. This always beat 'guessing' and or self-treatment that may or may not work over the long term.
I hope that this helps.

I would suggest being seen by your primary doc and hopefully be able to get a referrel to an Orthopedic and get this evaluated.
Many things can cause pain: but before you seek treatment get an analysis first!

Besides the obvious suggestions, (I'm going to assume you are not an idiot and have already considered seeking medical advce), try allowing the area some seriuos time to heal itself, possibly two weeks off. You'd be surprised what time can do to an injury. Also, be sure to stay hydrated and balanced nutrientwise to ensure you are promoting a sufficient healing condition during the time off.

Hi Kathy,
that sounds quite befuddling. Since you are a nurse, I assume that you have sought advice from all the proper resources over the years.
The thing that struck me in your narrative is that the pain got worse and persisted during the period that you were out of work. Stress is of course an obvious explanation but you may investigate what you did instead. Even if you have created imbalances in your body through the manner in which you did your job, it was a kind of imbalance that your body was accustomed to. Not doing certain movements may have unhinged an underlying problem that you were able to mask.
You said that you are about to return to work soon, and I assume that you will be resuming the same type of work that has the same physical demand. It may well be that the pain will get better as you 'train' yourself back into the old imbalances. And if it gets worse, you'll know what to do as you are surrounded by medical experts.

This sounds like a postural issue to me . Here's the test , roll your shoulder blades back , and down . Make sure that your shoulders are pulling down away from your ears . Just try to pinch your scapula together and then reach your fingertips downward toward your knees . Once you're in this position , move your head back and forth and see if the pain hasn't subsided .
My guess is that this adjustment will provide relief , illustrating that your pec minor , and some other shoulder muscles are misaligned in comparison to your rhomboids and levitator scapulae .
If this is the case , try seated , or standing rows . Be sure to pinch your shoulder blades before allowing your biceps to engage . It should almost feel like two separate movements . For every set of rows doe a two minute pec stretch , or have a licensed massage therapist practice myofascial release on the aforementioned pec minor , major , and anterior shoulder complex .
good luck
