Pain under the shoulder blade and arm.
I recently started feeling this occasional pain under my left shoulder blade which move towards my arm sometimes while I am sitting and it gets really bad in the arm.
For the background I am active, working out 5-6 times a week, within normal bmi and started sitting more from past couple of months.
It's like a tingling sensation first then changes to pain.
Please help!

Hey there! Your case seems like that of trigger points activated in your subscapularis muscle.
Please consult a orthopaedician if you have not done physical activities for a long time now as trigger points do not "usually" develop that ways. There are quite some chances of nerve issues developed due to orthopaedic issue. You need a thorough examination. When you are idle and a trigger point has developed, there would be "stiffness" unlike your present symptoms. Such trigger points are developed in a physically inactive or sedentary individual mostly.
Next Steps
please visit a orthopaedician or a physiotherapist to be assessed and examined properly in person.
