A member asked:
I have chronic pain that seems to follow the infraspinatus muscle near the spine. my dr suspects fibro or myofascial pain. could it be anything else?

Yes: Yes, many potential causes of pain in the area. If you have not had an mri if your spine in that area, a pinched nerve would be another consideration; such as in a thoracic disc herniation.
