A member asked:

Pain in scapular / shoulder blade area. since last friday - possibly from being back at my work desk for a week +. stretching and muscle relaxers not working. feels like it is not subsiding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Posture: Sounds like a scalpulo-thoracic problem caused by posture. Try sitting in a chair with feet elevated about 8 inches from a floor, resting on a block. Lumbar spine supported with bolster so that your back is straight, not slouched or curved forward ‘over’ a desk. raising the desk or lowering the chair can help this. Do shoulder blade pinches, hold for 6 seconds, relax for 6, 6 times & repeat 6 x da
