A member asked:
What would cause a sudden muscle pain and tear type sound near the upper back, right under the shoulder blade. would it be the rhomboid or trapezius?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder pain: 29 year old gentleman with sudden pain under the shoulder blade and audible tear. You need a full exam from an orthopaedic surgeon. If you mean the pain was underneath your scapula, the muscle underneath it is called the subscapularis. Tears involving this muscle or its tendon are detected using the lift off test. However, you need a full exam not clear on here. Good luck.
