For my ppl that wear binders, burning/tension sensation in your shoulder blade?

I’ve talked to my doctor about this problem multiple times, so I’m not looking for medical advice, just people who have had a similar experience and how you’ve dealt with it.I’ve been wearing binders for 5+ years, the past two years I’ve noticed a strange sensation in my right shoulder blade, more like in between the blade and my spine? Sometimes it’s a stabbing pain, other times it feels more like burning or numbness. I use lidocaine patches, arnica cream, CBD ointment, take breaks from binding, stretch and even use massage chairs/have someone massage it out for me like a knot. Yet the pain always comes back. My doctor has said it’s likely just a result of poor posture and binding for so long and prescribes patches as a “bandaid fix” until I can get top surgery. So I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Are there exercises or treatments you recommend?
