Q: Scapula Muscles Tigh Help Please!
asked by: stickbuilt on March 14th, 2006

When I am working (or just active) my back does not bother me too bad, but as soon as I sit or lay, my muscles tighten up and get very painfull. My girlfriend has massage therapy expierience and massages me almost every night, but an hour later my muscles are tight again. This pain is occuring under and inside of my shoulderblades(scapulas). I saw a physical therapist and he told me to lay on a rolled up towel placing it under my spine. This provides temporary relief, but I just want this too go away! Any suggestions!

Scapular Pain: Dont Neglect
Hi

scapular pains can have varied manifestations. It can be just a 'pull in the muscle' or may be a serious spondylosis. However, please see a neurosurgeon at the earliest to evaluate you in detail, may even suggest an mri scan of your cervical spine etc.

Cheers
