Hello @Scamp74

Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us.

You have spinal stenosis and your shoulder blades keeping locking which is very painful for you. You are looking for information and advice.

I have to admit, I had not heard of your condition before but have some research have learnt that it is connected to osteoarthritis of the spine. Does that sound right to you? I am very much hoping that the other members on here are able to other you additional information. Failing that, you have most definitely come to the right place for support. We are a very friendly bunch and are always looking to make new friends.

I have attached a few links for you and hopefully they will be of help to you.

I do hope this is of some help to you. I really would recommend talking to the helpline if there is something specific you want to know or if you are in need of a little extra support.

Please do let us know how you are getting on and do continue to keep getting involved.

Take care
