Back Pain/Stomach Pain?

Sometimes it feels like something I swallowed isn't going down the esophogus all the way. Kinda stays right there somewhere and it pains and it almost feels like a back pain.

Other times it is a dull pain in the same area.  It is on my righthand side, right below the shoulder blade and inbetween the spine.  Sometimes getting a massage in that area helps.  The dull pain almost feels like when you are depressed and have that "love sick" feeling.  But I'm not either of those then or now.

I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is.  I don't know if that is where my esophogus meets my stomach or if it is where  my intestine meets my stomach.  I have a small theory that I am trying to test out.  I have had some major muscle knots in that area and I wonder if back muscle nots and muscle strains in the back play a part GERD by putting pressure on those organs like overweight puts pressure on the stomach.  It is just a theory, but just throwing it out there.

  I also get the same pain.  However, mine is on the left side, just under shoulder blade next to spine.  When my gerds first flared up really bad, I was getting alot of pain in my back.  Now, it has subsided some...but some days I still feel it.  It does feel kind of like something is stuck there, and massaging sometimes relieves it temporarily....but burping kind of helps too, but only for a few mins.  It does also feel like a knot in my muscle, but I dont think it is.  I also feel the lump in throat feeling, kind of like when you are ready to cry!!....I think they may be related...My theory is that is pressure, or gas...but Im not sure.  Or esophageal spasms??...Tightning feeling ... I am not sure even what triggers it off.  Sometimes I go for days now with no symptoms at all, then that starts up again...so, Im not sure what it is.  But, its good to hear that some of you are feeling the same symptoms, so that must be all part of this dreadful thing!!!
