Your shoulder has a constant ache and sometimes shooting pains- could this be a bone spur?

It could, but usually shooting pains means that nerves are involved. The type of pain (electric ? cramping ?) would give an idea of what it is and where it is happening.. Do any of the fingers in the affected arm go to sleep? Do you get the symptoms when you turn your head a certain way? Is your strength weaker in that arm/hand? I ask these questions because several nerves that go to the arm exit the spine in the neck, travel to a point under your arm, and come together like spliced wires in a house travel to a particular room... (in this case, the muscles of your arm & hand). If so, you need to be evaluated by a physician or PA/NP to include XRays of your cervical spine (neck area). Treatment will depend on the results of that evaluation & Xrays... Also, here are nerves in the back of the shoulder that are a branch of some of the nerves that travel down the arm. Irritation of these nerves can also cause shooting pains into your arm...

It could mean he's flirting with you. This guy always tapped me on the shoulder and then pretended he didn't do it and later on, I found out he had a crush on me. If he doesn't like you, sometimes boys do that for attention.

What could a bump on the upper back by the shoulder blade be and how could you have prevented it?
Could be a Sebacous Cyst. This is a cyst that begins as a fatty clogged pore and then grows. I have seen them as big as a golf ball. They are harmless but annoying. Sometimes they cause discomfort if located in a bad spot. They are very common on the back and shoulder area. These types of cysts must be removed by a doctor as they are usually pretty deep.
