Muscle strain: Sounds like you have some strained muscles in which case your symptoms could be normal. Massage therapy. Pull help, hearing pads and some anti- inflammatories such as Motrin and aleve (naproxen) can help. Best of luck!

Tight SHoulders: Not normal. Right shoulder tight and both shoulder blades tight? Any recent injury or increase in activity to explain this? Some simple home shoulder stretches can help. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/fitness/multimedia/stretching/sls-20076840 Good luck
