Pain between the shoulder blades is a sign of gallbladder stasis due to referring pain from the gallbladder radiating up into the shoulder area. This is not a very strong or specific sign, as many other things can cause pain between the shoulder blades including nerve irritation, nerve impingement, bursitis, frozen shoulder, weak pectoralis muscles etc.
