Poor posture: It could be from poor posture. If you sit a lot, you could have slouched shoulders and neck which pull on your shoulder blade. You could have a shoulder-neck strain syndrome. This can be improved wiht stretches of your neck daily, improving your posture and/or massage.

See doctor: You need to see your doctor to get a diagnosis because, although unlikely, this could be something serious. Ask if this could be a trigger point (a tender point inside the muscles). These can develop for no apparent reason and be difficult to get rid of. Try deep tissue massage. Tell your therapist to massage under the scapula by placing your arm on the painful side across you body. Good luck.
