What Causes Discomfort In Between Shoulder Blades?

Hi, I have a certain discomfort in between my shoulder blades that is bothering me a lot. When somebody is putting pressure at that spot, it soothes me, but when they stop the discomfort comes back. When someone asks me where the pain is I can t really name where it is, I don t know exactly where it is, I only know that it is near the area of my shoulder blades. It has been bothering me for more than a month now. What do you think the problem might be?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

Also, by reading your history, as per my understanding I can say it is trapezitis. The pain is in the line of the shoulder blades. this happens due to overuse or repetitive stress injury.

the best way to solve this problem is physical therapy and icing. By using therapeutic ultrasound Therapy, TENS therapy and myofascial release technique your inflammation, pain and tightness of the trapezious muscle.

In my clinical practice this is the commonest problem I have seen. and it has responded well to physical therapy.

I wish you the good health.

Regards
