I don't know. Just woke up and my shoulder was killing me, like there's something underneath my shoulder blade. I got a massage and that just made it ache constantly.

I'm trying to not by whiny about it lol.
good hot shower use a massage head against the shoulder and a soak would prolly help.......and someone to help you stretch at least that side of the body......that's what i use to get when i played tennis....after the match and the next day.....shoulder was dead and hurting along with the elbow...

Have you tried Chiropractic? Worked for me after severe back injury.
Not yet, I just went to the doctor about it this morning.

It's not too bad today. I laid in a hot bath for a couple hours yesterday, emptied the hot water tank twice... then the massage and everything went downhill from there. I'm kinda scared to mess with it while it's tolerable.

look into that massage showed head if you don't already have one....turn the heat up as hot as you can take it....and let the water do the work...while the water is going move your shoulder and arm around.....as you can tell i've many shoulder injuries....lol

Google Rhomboid Trigger Points, unless there's been some trauma.

She's only a GP, the appointment was over in five minutes. She thinks it's probably overuse, something I'm doing or how I'm sleeping, just muscle problems. I'm getting xrays on Friday then she'll probably send me to physio.

I did the tennis ball again yesterday rolling between my shoulder blade and spine. You recommended that last time I had this problem too and it went away a couple days later. If I'm being honest I didn't put my full weight on it, the pain was excruciating, like almost ready to cry painful.

Tennis ball tied in the middle of a long sock. And I like this shoulder stretch.
I use a hardball in a sock, for me Tennis balls are too forgiving. But it's hard to do it right. Best thing is to get a Marcaine and Depo Medrol or Celestone injection to get rid of them. It stops the pain that keeps triggering the muscle and the corticosteroid gets rid of the local inflammation.
