A member asked:
I woke up this morning and couldn't put any pressure on my left arm. i feel like i may have pulled a muscle between my shoulder blades..?

You most likely did.: The area between your shoulder blades is filled with a few muscles that move your shoulder blade in conjuction with you shoulder and arm. It should clear up with time, icing and taking an over the counter anti-inflammatory medication. If it persists for more than a couple of weeks, physical therapy may be indicated.
