Unlikely at your: age. You are describing a very common condition which affects the rhomboid muscles which attach to the spine and to the edge of the scapula (shoulder blade). Firm massage, application of moist heat, and time will resolve. Has high likelihood of recurrence due to biomechanics which should be self evaluated.
