I was crying while watching this video at first because I’ve been in SO much pain & couldn’t go to my chiropractor due to corona, but after doing these stretches I finally got some relief!!! God bless you 😭
Awwwwwwwwww!!!!! I've had this pain for the last 20 year's. Then what made it worst was I flipped off my bike hurting my ribs so when I try an massage out the back the ribs that had been damaged hurt too. Its unreal! Hot water only gose so far
This worked! Had a sharp pain under left shoulder. Breathing into the ice pack, rolling on a ball, and the foam roller knocked it down by about 80%. Very grateful for this!
I think this video saved my life... I know I’m exaggerating but I’ve had this issue since an injury over 3 years ago and now the pain is a constant burden... I never went to the doctor because I thought it would go away... now I’m determined to get a good correction... this video is so underrated! Thank you 🙏🏼
This has been the closest to the description of my pain so far. Very clear instructions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You’ve obviously helped many people and I’m heartened to try these practical suggestions and get back to work.
Wow, some real, practical tips, finally! This has become a bit of a chronic condition, keeps happening at regular intervals, but more when I’ve been stressed... Thank you so much!
Using the foam roller sideways instead of up and down the back has been hugely benefit for me. Ah. I would reccomend this for anyone suffer tight muscle pain issues in the scapula area. So foam roll long ways instead, roll your body left and right using arms and legs. Hope this helps anyone out there suffering.
I have this pain, like someon just stab me under my left shoulder. I'm 19, also strarted around 4years ago all of this, i cant work without drop some tears because of the pain. When i go home its just hurt that much i cant do anithing to feel free in my "freetime" while i not had a job it just dissapeard, back to work, back to pain. Have the pain ever reduced by triing some exercises for someone? Please share with me if u had.. (btw. sry for the bad english)
Your not alone my man, I am 23 and the pain started a few years ago. The chiropractor told me the left side of my body was SLIGHTLY lower than my right, which is where the pain is happening. When I correct my posture it feels better, my recommendation would be to see the Chiro and start doing exercises to try to fix it. It really affects my quality of life, I feel it even without working.
A sincere thank you to you, kind sir! The last foam roller technique has finally relieved approx 23 years of previously unsolvable and misdiagnosed pain/damage from incompetent chiropractors . May the Lord repay you for your altruistic service.
I’ve had this issue for several years and have been to chiropractors and had some physical therapy. Chiropractors have been the most helpful with this issue because they offer the most immediate and dramatic relief, and have a much better understanding of my issue. Physical therapy hasn’t been helpful at all. All of the physical therapists I’ve seen don’t seem to have any kind of understanding of my pain and seem to be giving me arbitrary treatment. I really love this video. I think it offers a lot of good insight and advice. I have discovered many of these exercises and treatments on my own experimenting with stretching, my foam roller, and the way I ice it. They provide some relief, but not significant. This video has shown me some ways I might be able to fine tune these exercises and treatments, so I’m excited to give it a try and see how it works out. Thank you.
Yin-Spark Ayoubami have you been to the doctor ??? I smoked a cart and when I started to cough it started to hurt under my shoulder blade !! And ever since it’s been hurting 🤦🏽♂️
Eve30 if you have LuxFit Foam Roller or any foam roller put it on your back on the floor roller your back on it where you feel the pain and focus on that position, do that for 2min or more after Neil down legs and your hands, and push your shoulder blade in and out like you want to do push up, do that for 2min as well do it over and over for some days I believe you feel better. I wish I can show how to do better. I hope this will help if you do it in a right way
I have this pain as we speak.. it all started on a flight to Colorado. I fell asleep laying face down on the eating tray with my arms crossed. I woke up 3 hours later to get off the plane, and my left arm was completely numb, and didn’t go back to normal until we boarded the flight home a week later... since then I’ve had this sharp, cold, sting pain that pushes through by my heart. I thought it was a heart issue and went to the hospital in hopes it wasn’t anything serious. I wasn’t diagnosed with anything, yet still experience this cold, sharp pain.
I got this pain for over 4 weeks, it happened at work due to heavy lifting. I can not sleep on my left side. The pain travels to my neck and left arm. 😫😫😫😫
@@distinctexpert2331 I've had pain like a year now. Now I can't sleep because it hurts so bad. The pain wasn't there if I didn't do wall balls. Now after heavy jerk progression it hurts too much.
Thank you for sharing this invaluable information. I've been having this exact problem on and off for years and this is the best advice I found so far. Can't thank you enough.
I thought it comes from medial rotation of the shoulder, and pec minor being locked short, as Ida Rolf says, "Where the pain IS, the injury ISN'T...loosen pec minor with a lacross ball and back goes the scapula...
I’ve been having this for 4 months and it’s on my left side and sometimes it shots towards my chest and feel pain on the back of my arm. I’ve been to the ER 4 times and urgent cares and doctors tell me my heart is healthy. I always sleep on my left side I feel like this has made it more worse. Thank goodness I found this video.
wow i like your video very much n learn a lot, i had those ribs n shoulder blade issues for quite sometime n they bothered me always, ill do those tips, thanks a lot
could not breath it was so bad deep under the right blade,grabbing my right arm and pulling with the left arm with a slow turn gave instant relief to breath. Thanks a ton buddy!!!!!!!!
I’ve had this problem for the last 2 years but today hurt like it never had before. so much I couldn’t breathe from the pain as my ribs expanded. I definitely will go find a chiropractor, didn’t know if it was a chiropractor that would take care of this. Thank you I will try all these things too.
Soy Enfermero y constantemente hago esfuerzos moviendo pacientes, tengo 29 años y pensé que esto no me afectaría tan joven pero duele😢 y no se calma con nada, hay que cuidarse a uno mismo gente 👋 gracias doc por sus consejos 🙌
I have this for 4 years now and still no solution. Seen rheumatologist, chiro, physio and everyone. All say and do different things. So jarring and frustrating and debilitating. Legit
Div Does Stuff SAME HERE, im currently lay in bed in agony i can hardly breathe from how irritated and inflamed it is, i have no idea what it is either and doctors can’t find out too.
Just found this video I've hurt in my right shoulder blade for a couple years . To the point that inflammation got into my ribs I suspect and I laid in bed barely breathing for almost a year and a half . I can actually function now but still have flare up even into my neck , my ears always rings and my eyes get blurred sometimes when it flares up . Hopefully this helps
Thankyou so much, your video helped a lot with making the pain better (ice pack whilst laying on my back and the breathing tips) now waiting for it to go! and will try the other tips if the pain is still there. I just got it yesterday 😩 and the pain was so bad i couldn't bend or sleep on my back.
Thank you Dr Ritza for these videos on mid back pain! These were the best I could find on youtube on this subject. I knew my pain was more than just a trigger point or muscle spasm...a dislocated rib joint made the most sense. My pain was so intense it hurt to breath or do most movements. After about 3-4 days of following his instructions the pain is just a bad memory! You have a new subscriber, wish your office was local! Thank you again.
Thank you so much!!! Duh...ice it. Literally siged in reliefwhen the cold hit my back. Looking forward to getting this corrected with the stretches and exercises. You're a godsend!
Thank you I been searching on RUclips I been video I ran into your RUclips channel I feel Confident it will work for me. I been struggling with this pain day in day out. Thank you for sharing your video helpful tips I’m try continue doing for long term tell I start felling better thank you so, much
Mine had gotten sho bad that its causing me to feel like I cant breathe at times. It will send a -some what- tingling sensation down my arm to my pinky. I also feel it in the ribs under my left arm. Its scary... even almost caused an anxiety attack before. I am desperately hoping that your info and demonstration will help.
@@monabts3143 yes it did. I also found out though that some of the anxiety was from an acid reflux. I just did not realize it because it was not coming up in my throat. I used the lacrosse ball and stretching methods and it definitely helped my shoulder over the last 2 weeks. You can get a pack of two lacrosse balls on Amazon for less than $10 I will say that I had better success with the lacrosse ball penned between my back and the wall, As opposed to using the floor. It was not as intense and much easier to trigger the right spot/knot.
Hey this is my first time watching you I have pain below my shoulder it's like something sticking out back there and it hurts then my arm some of the way from the top to my elbow but I'm going to keep watching your exercise if it don't get no better I will go to a chiropractor or my doctor thank you for your recommendations chiropractors do wonders I have problems in my neck that's fine where I was in a car wreck at a young age and chiropractor had help my neck I never had no treatment done to it since the accident I didn't realize I got that hurt and a big nut popped up on my shoulder ever since it's hurt and bother me I done Mrs and things I got bulge in this and arthritis and bone on bone different stuff in my neck from the MRI and my right shoulder so I don't know if the painting from what you're talking about or from the injury I had from the wreck anyways anything that helps me I will do it I've done what you doing the best I could cuz I have a titanium knee I can't get on like I used to but thank you for the information God bless you
I’ve had issues with my L scapula /shoulder for 3 years. Had many diagnosis, elevated first rib, impingement etc.. I still continued on my own to figure it out and correct, sometimes being a little too aggressive etc.. My scalenes have always been a major source of pain with my neck. Recently though I have felt like something was under my scapula. Everyone thought a tight subscap. My ribcage began to feel extremely torqued/twisted. This was after doing some lower body work, just hip hinging and glute stuff. I know my glutes / spine are weak. Well this made everything way worse in my ribcage. I know there is muscular weakness somewhere, I’m not stretching or strengthening the correct thing/s. Now my right scapula is aching, never before has this happened. I just recently had some xrays. Now it shows some scoliosis in thoracic and anterolesis in c7 on t1. Whatever is going on something too weak and something too string, seriously not symmetrical. Do you have any suggestions since no one here has a clue. It’s getting worse. My dominant side is the thicker shortened side. The xray shows my spine being pulled to the left. So which side would I strengthen more? Sorry, but at my wits end. I know it’s fixable if I strengthen correct muscles. Any suggestions? I do use a lacrosse ball to release muscles. Will your exercises help. Will hanging help? Thank you
What a general recovery time , from strains like this!, appreciate the input . As for your video , bang on what’s happing to me , was cycling in a toad bike for 200km ans days later was just siting down looking at my novel phone and had a horrendous pain back right lower shoulder , dad later getting a pain around under arm and in front of the bust area . Can’t sneeze or cough for a sharp pain giving my back and front just area , very painful .
I am experiencing that pain from my right back side from my neck, shoulder and ribs when I breath it hurts so bad if feels like is my longs and ribs so I can’t actually tell and my doctor said is just the muscles but it haven’t get better for over a month now I can’t sleep on my right side I can’t breath becouse of the pain. I’ll try to do what you said and see if it works thank you 🙏🏼
I have this problem but mine is at the worst stage. I hurt every single day from my back to my front rib cage. If seen doctor after doctor all say it's muscle but it never goes away. And it's unbearable anymore
I got my Theracane' in the mail yesterday and it can really hit that knotted muscle. You can put as much pressure as you like to work the knot out. I also bought a percussion massager from Walmart and it works great too! I'm ready for the next time one makes my life miserable!
🙌🏼 Dr, my doctors said nothing can be done except exercise to help for that pain. I need more of these. It feels like it travels down my arm into my hand and sometimes my left side.
Go see a good chiropractor please! If this is your problem then there are lots of solutions for you. Whoever told you that "nothing can be done" is misinformed
I have the Sam issue. You probably have a pinched nerve on the neck like I do. Get checked by a physiotherapist if you haven't yet. Also, how've you been treating it and what works/ed for you?
I have done much gardening work and my whole body did bend to that! Because of that my ribs on my right side have bended outward! And i often feel sharp pain!
My gosh I thought I was having a heart attack pain in back of my left shoulder blade 4 weeks now, I was fine until I sept on my back giving me pain and had to wake up ! All day was a bad day ‘. Don’t know what else to do my BP is good and everything g else is except that pain and only when I lay down or move wrong ‘ please help..watching your videos word by word.
Great video, thank you! You hit the nail on the head about the "hugging" position. I realize I am sleeping like this when side-sleeping, my favorite position, and that is clearly why my shoulder blade and chest/rib area hurt! I try to sleep on my back but I move throughout the night and can't control this while I'm asleep. Can you please recommend something for this? Thank you!!!
moon Bora literally just put my back on a flat surface like the floor and force my head to pull on my spin to pop it. Its easy lmfao but now im going to the chiropractor it was getting bad lol
thank you,@@caballero_nunez738 i did so many ways to crack my back and it really did crack but the pain didnt go away lol i think the problem is with my muscles not my bones
moon Bora lmfao my chiropractor just told me to go make a massage appointment after all my sessions so yeah i could be just muscles ! Btw add my snap while your at it, I’m more active there then here :) ~~~ > Xkamposx
Have this pain 7months left side was t boned by a jeep off a motorcycle 40km anhour went up in the air landed on the left side scapula nothing broke but the pain is there morning noon and night radiating to the chest left side waiting for physio to help ,any type of pain killers help for this🙏
5 weeks post open heart surgery. This area is really bothering me still after the surgery. I'm just now flexible to hopefully try these without hurting myself. 3 more weeks and I should be allowed to go back to my chiropractor.
Did you end up finding a way to heal this problem /pain ? I have a broken sternum and much pain in this area as well. Looking for someone else who had this and found a way back to normalcy 😲😲😲
Read many of the comments, watched whole video.....and yes since Monday morning till now ive got that Pain levels livre at 678....jump to 9-10. NO sleep until maybe and hour yesterday. Saw my doctor on Wednesday....he said pitched nerve in nevk......but did not expllain it or underztand it like you just spoke bout My left arm (same side as upper back pain... and front also ....pain literally switches) Left arm and had super weak and sensitive and numb
I actually couldn’t do push ups today because I feel like their is a bone popped out, and I can physically feel it in like my chest where all my ribs connect. I think it’s called the thorax or something. But at the same time it cause that back pain that made me look up this video
Hello I am from Pakistan I have pain in bone back side of shoulder joint .. I am a fast bowler ... When I bowl the pain suddenly increases plz help me tomorrow is my trail and I want to repair my injury
I have pain in lower portion of shoulder blade 😭😭😭😭😭😭I told Doctor about this he suggested me only some medicines. But whenever I sit for studies I feel pain in this portion 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭please any solution
When I breathe in it really hurts, come from my shoulder blade to the front of my chest, I went for physio last week which didnt do anything,,, it's like theres huge knots under my shoulder blade,, cheers
I have the exact same problem except i don't feel it Infront only on my right side of my back around the shoulder blade when taking a deep breath. Tryna figure out how to fix this
Could have to do with the chest and above the diaphragm, and happens in pneumonia incidents, and is called side pleurisy, and sharp pains that feel as if your were grabbed suddenly by knifepoints, when you breath, expanding and contracting surfaces that need to be lubricated. The chest cavity that contains the lungs, those parts that expand and contract move against two layers of pleura surfaces that move against each other an inner and outer, visceral and pareital, so may not even be an ortho problem. Same as the knees and shoulders, feet, hands, hips where synovial fluid allows for movement.
Sounds like pleurisy. I have Lupus and I get pleurisy a lot. It hurts everytime you breathe so you take in shallow breaths. It also makes you fatiqued and causes sharp chest pain, shoulder blade pain, and lung pain.
I've had this pain for 6 months without relief. I went to a traumatologist and he gave me some pain killers and a hot/cold therapy. This helped mildly and temporarily and once I stopped them, it was all back. Then I went to a massage therapist and he removed some of the pain that had radiated from the scapula to my arms and hands. He got rid of the pain around arms, hands and even leg, but the pain in the shoulder blade is still there and it did not go away at all even with very painful massage. Next, I started rolling my entire shoulder blade the way he showed in this video. It is incredibly painful and I've been doing it for about a week, about 2-5 times per day. Some relief, but as soon as I start typing on the computer (which I have to do everyday) the pain returns. Is this really just not curable? I would go to a chiropractor if there were people here with testimonials, but I find it so hard to believe that you can actually find relief in 2 seconds of some chiropractor adjustment. If the pain doesn't go away do you give people their money back? I can't believe this is the ONLY way to do it. And doctors want me to spend thousands of dollars on MRIs, X-rays and all kinds of testing and at the end, they will give me pain killers.
I get an annoying pain maybe a 4 out of 10 i think its from doing rows when weight training but not sure. Pressing on the shoulder blade does stop the pain temporally but it comes back at random times.
Ye Doc I was lifting my bike and I had a bad pain near my shoulder balde I pulled a musle on my right side yes im right handed it went all the way down my shoulder bade down my side into my rib cage I used a hot water bottle and it has eased the pain a little but im still getting goltes not just that i fell asleep with the hot water bottle on my back anx well burnt myself to ((((
Im going to a chiropractor tommorow to get checked out. I have been trying a heating pad to relax the muscle and it does work. Ive had a muscle spazzam before but im not sure this is it this time.
I have recently been through this pain and this video helped me to manage my recovery... Dr. Alex, may I ask you if is something we can do to prevent this to happen again. Regards... From Sydney, Australia
Thank you so much for this advice! I am trying to determine what causes this pain. Some of the ideas include work stress, periodic anxiety/paranoia (muscle tension), sitting or leaning asymmetrically, dominant phone or mouse hand asymmetry, or sprains from sleeping weirdly after drinking a bit too much. Does anyone know what causes thus pain in this locations? Trying to help myself and others change our lives if possible, to reduce this type of pain.
Going thru this now. So much pain. At work, I stand and look down. So I'm sure this is how it happened. My shoulder will pop and I feel better, but then it goes back. Would K tape help taping the shoulders back?
I feel like i have always had pain in the lower shoulder blade. Very much feels deep underneath. It is just always there. I sometimes can shift it but it's always there.
I have a pain in my shoulder blade which I was told was a damaged nerve from a massage. Only thing that makes me feel better is when I apply extreme pressure on the "spot" with a thumb or ball.. the pain feel like its in my heart as well.. Do you think this is the same thing? please help!!!!!!!!
Dealing with this off and on for about 6 months, physical therapy helps, but pain is always chasing me. Trying to find a comfortable way to sleep, skiing and driving seem to make the pain worse. Your suggestions eased the pain, trying to work on postural improvement and strengthening my back. Was wondering if acupuncture would be beneficial.
I don't know where I read this but it made difference to my pain. While driving, you can try holding the steering wheel at 8'o clock and 4'o clock position
Certus0 that makes sense, because that is where I hold the steering wheel (the least impactful position). Just driving for 3 or more hours leads to most of my pain.
Thanks - there are a few nuggets in this that I am trying to relieve pain. Unfortunately, my chiro has not been able to help with this issue despite repeated attempts. I suspect this came from walking my dog- he pulls a lot and may have caused the rib to go out of place or some related soft tissue damage. Ever run into this before???
I was crying while watching this video at first because I’ve been in SO much pain & couldn’t go to my chiropractor due to corona, but after doing these stretches I finally got some relief!!! God bless you 😭
Same here i was searching for cause of my pain for more than 6 months

Thanks for the positive message and I hope you find the solution you are looking for
That Breathing technique has lessened that nagging ache, thank you!
This really helped me, I had intense rib pain and now I feel free range of motion and less chest pressure

could not breath it was so bad deep under the right blade,grabbing my right arm and pulling with the left arm with a slow turn gave instant relief to breath. Thanks a ton buddy!!!!!!!!
Gentle swimming (freestyle) seems to help my chronic shoulder blade issues. I guess because of the cool water and controlled breathing.
I’ve had this problem for the last 2 years but today hurt like it never had before. so much I couldn’t breathe from the pain as my ribs expanded. I definitely will go find a chiropractor, didn’t know if it was a chiropractor that would take care of this. Thank you I will try all these things too.

I knew my pain was more than just a trigger point or muscle spasm...a dislocated rib joint made the most sense. My pain was so intense it hurt to breath or do most movements. After about 3-4 days of following his instructions the pain is just a bad memory! You have a new subscriber, wish your office was local! Thank you again.
Thank you Dr. Ritza. I am a student in Montreal and kept getting massages but the pain kept coming back. I will book a chiro tomorrow !
Thank you so much!!! Duh...ice it. Literally siged in reliefwhen the cold hit my back. Looking forward to getting this corrected with the stretches and exercises. You're a godsend!
"ice it"
lol good luck Pamela
The breathing technique is huge thank
You
Thank you I been searching on RUclips I been video I ran into your RUclips channel I feel Confident it will work for me. I been struggling with this pain day in day out. Thank you for sharing your video helpful tips I’m try continue doing for long term tell I start felling better thank you so, much
Mine had gotten sho bad that its causing me to feel like I cant breathe at times. It will send a -some what- tingling sensation down my arm to my pinky. I also feel it in the ribs under my left arm. Its scary... even almost caused an anxiety attack before.
I am desperately hoping that your info and demonstration will help.
J. Buck did it work?
@@monabts3143 yes it did. I also found out though that some of the anxiety was from an acid reflux. I just did not realize it because it was not coming up in my throat.
I used the lacrosse ball and stretching methods and it definitely helped my shoulder over the last 2 weeks.
You can get a pack of two lacrosse balls on Amazon for less than $10
I will say that I had better success with the lacrosse ball penned between my back and the wall, As opposed to using the floor. It was not as intense and much easier to trigger the right spot/knot.
I slipped off a ladder going into my attic. Fell and caught myself with my left arm and now my shoulder I can hardly move sharp pain
This actually started to help me. Thank you!
Jessica Perry glad to hear
Thank you so much. Icing now. Ill try the mobility next. Can’t wait to see my chiropractor Monday!

That last stretch was the money for me. Got up and INSTANTLY felt a little better!
I’ve had issues with my L scapula /shoulder for 3 years. Had many diagnosis, elevated first rib, impingement etc.. I still continued on my own to figure it out and correct, sometimes being a little too aggressive etc.. My scalenes have always been a major source of pain with my neck. Recently though I have felt like something was under my scapula. Everyone thought a tight subscap. My ribcage began to feel extremely torqued/twisted. This was after doing some lower body work, just hip hinging and glute stuff. I know my glutes / spine are weak. Well this made everything way worse in my ribcage. I know there is muscular weakness somewhere, I’m not stretching or strengthening the correct thing/s. Now my right scapula is aching, never before has this happened. I just recently had some xrays. Now it shows some scoliosis in thoracic and anterolesis in c7 on t1. Whatever is going on something too weak and something too string, seriously not symmetrical. Do you have any suggestions since no one here has a clue. It’s getting worse. My dominant side is the thicker shortened side. The xray shows my spine being pulled to the left. So which side would I strengthen more? Sorry, but at my wits end. I know it’s fixable if I strengthen correct muscles. Any suggestions? I do use a lacrosse ball to release muscles. Will your exercises help. Will hanging help? Thank you
Thanx this helped me a bit on the way
Got this pain from kettlebell training this summer 🙏
What a general recovery time , from strains like this!, appreciate the input . As for your video , bang on what’s happing to me , was cycling in a toad bike for 200km ans days later was just siting down looking at my novel phone and had a horrendous pain back right lower shoulder , dad later getting a pain around under arm and in front of the bust area . Can’t sneeze or cough for a sharp pain giving my back and front just area , very painful .
I am experiencing that pain from my right back side from my neck, shoulder and ribs when I breath it hurts so bad if feels like is my longs and ribs so I can’t actually tell and my doctor said is just the muscles but it haven’t get better for over a month now I can’t sleep on my right side I can’t breath becouse of the pain. I’ll try to do what you said and see if it works thank you 🙏🏼
I have this problem but mine is at the worst stage. I hurt every single day from my back to my front rib cage. If seen doctor after doctor all say it's muscle but it never goes away. And it's unbearable anymore
Very helpful! I feel better already. Thank you!
This kills me I have to move my arm a lot cause of this
I got my Theracane' in the mail yesterday and it can really hit that knotted muscle. You can put as much pressure as you like to work the knot out. I also bought a percussion massager from Walmart and it works great too! I'm ready for the next time one makes my life miserable!
🙌🏼 Dr, my doctors said nothing can be done except exercise to help for that pain. I need more of these. It feels like it travels down my arm into my hand and sometimes my left side.
Go see a good chiropractor please! If this is your problem then there are lots of solutions for you. Whoever told you that "nothing can be done" is misinformed
I have the same issue right now
I have the Sam issue. You probably have a pinched nerve on the neck like I do. Get checked by a physiotherapist if you haven't yet. Also, how've you been treating it and what works/ed for you?
I have done much gardening work and my whole body did bend to that!
Because of that my ribs on my right side have bended outward!
And i often feel sharp pain!
Been having this pain for years and as I grow it gets worse
Watch athleanx video on scapular winging and do a few scapula pushups pain will slowly go away
@@sarimshabee2824 thank you I'll watch it
My gosh I thought I was having a heart attack pain in back of my left shoulder blade 4 weeks now, I was fine until I sept on my back giving me pain and had to wake up ! All day was a bad day ‘. Don’t know what else to do my BP is good and everything g else is except that pain and only when I lay down or move wrong ‘ please help..watching your videos word by word.
Great video, thank you! You hit the nail on the head about the "hugging" position. I realize I am sleeping like this when side-sleeping, my favorite position, and that is clearly why my shoulder blade and chest/rib area hurt! I try to sleep on my back but I move throughout the night and can't control this while I'm asleep. Can you please recommend something for this? Thank you!!!
Going on 2 years with this pain and now i have to crack/pop it back into place every 20 mins for it to let me walk and breathe right
how do you crack/pop it back ?
moon Bora literally just put my back on a flat surface like the floor and force my head to pull on my spin to pop it. Its easy lmfao but now im going to the chiropractor it was getting bad lol
thank you,@@caballero_nunez738 i did so many ways to crack my back and it really did crack but the pain didnt go away lol i think the problem is with my muscles not my bones
moon Bora lmfao my chiropractor just told me to go make a massage appointment after all my sessions so yeah i could be just muscles ! Btw add my snap while your at it, I’m more active there then here :) ~~~ > Xkamposx
@@caballero_nunez738 i hope it get better. i add you :)

5 weeks post open heart surgery. This area is really bothering me still after the surgery. I'm just now flexible to hopefully try these without hurting myself. 3 more weeks and I should be allowed to go back to my chiropractor.
Did you end up finding a way to heal this problem /pain ? I have a broken sternum and much pain in this area as well. Looking for someone else who had this and found a way back to normalcy 😲😲😲
May be heart related pain

Hello I am from Pakistan I have pain in bone back side of shoulder joint .. I am a fast bowler ... When I bowl the pain suddenly increases plz help me tomorrow is my trail and I want to repair my injury
Dr Rizza, Could TOS cause this pain? If so is it safe to do a rib adjustment ?
I have pain in lower portion of shoulder blade 😭😭😭😭😭😭I told Doctor about this he suggested me only some medicines. But whenever I sit for studies I feel pain in this portion 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭please any solution
When I breathe in it really hurts, come from my shoulder blade to the front of my chest, I went for physio last week which didnt do anything,,, it's like theres huge knots under my shoulder blade,, cheers
I have the exact same problem except i don't feel it Infront only on my right side of my back around the shoulder blade when taking a deep breath. Tryna figure out how to fix this
Did you fix it somehow? :/ I have a same problem
Could have to do with the chest and above the diaphragm, and happens in pneumonia incidents, and is called side pleurisy, and sharp pains that feel as if your were grabbed suddenly by knifepoints, when you breath, expanding and contracting surfaces that need to be lubricated. The chest cavity that contains the lungs, those parts that expand and contract move against two layers of pleura surfaces that move against each other an inner and outer, visceral and pareital, so may not even be an ortho problem.
Same as the knees and shoulders, feet, hands, hips where synovial fluid allows for movement.
Sounds like pleurisy. I have Lupus and I get pleurisy a lot. It hurts everytime you breathe so you take in shallow breaths. It also makes you fatiqued and causes sharp chest pain, shoulder blade pain, and lung pain.
@James, so sorry. Read several different sites and try some of the suggestions. Best of luck to you.
I've had this pain for 6 months without relief. I went to a traumatologist and he gave me some pain killers and a hot/cold therapy. This helped mildly and temporarily and once I stopped them, it was all back. Then I went to a massage therapist and he removed some of the pain that had radiated from the scapula to my arms and hands. He got rid of the pain around arms, hands and even leg, but the pain in the shoulder blade is still there and it did not go away at all even with very painful massage. Next, I started rolling my entire shoulder blade the way he showed in this video. It is incredibly painful and I've been doing it for about a week, about 2-5 times per day. Some relief, but as soon as I start typing on the computer (which I have to do everyday) the pain returns. Is this really just not curable? I would go to a chiropractor if there were people here with testimonials, but I find it so hard to believe that you can actually find relief in 2 seconds of some chiropractor adjustment. If the pain doesn't go away do you give people their money back? I can't believe this is the ONLY way to do it. And doctors want me to spend thousands of dollars on MRIs, X-rays and all kinds of testing and at the end, they will give me pain killers.
I get an annoying pain maybe a 4 out of 10 i think its from doing rows when weight training but not sure. Pressing on the shoulder blade does stop the pain temporally but it comes back at random times.
My left shoulder blade doesn't really hurt. Not sure how to explain, it feels awkward but a bit sore when I try stretch it. Any ideas why?
Same here
Same here thought I was dying
Any ideas how to get rid of this? My right shoulder blade huts too much
@@TheJaYSolo no idea! Wish I knew how, maybe a trip to the gp or chiropractor
I also have this problem thank you making this video
Ye Doc I was lifting my bike and I had a bad pain near my shoulder balde I pulled a musle on my right side yes im right handed it went all the way down my shoulder bade down my side into my rib cage I used a hot water bottle and it has eased the pain a little but im still getting goltes not just that i fell asleep with the hot water bottle on my back anx well burnt myself to ((((
Im going to a chiropractor tommorow to get checked out. I have been trying a heating pad to relax the muscle and it does work. Ive had a muscle spazzam before but im not sure this is it this time.
I have recently been through this pain and this video helped me to manage my recovery... Dr. Alex, may I ask you if is something we can do to prevent this to happen again.
Regards...
From Sydney, Australia
Juan Palomino check out my most recent videos on rib issues and pardon the delay
Thank you so much for this advice! I am trying to determine what causes this pain. Some of the ideas include work stress, periodic anxiety/paranoia (muscle tension), sitting or leaning asymmetrically, dominant phone or mouse hand asymmetry, or sprains from sleeping weirdly after drinking a bit too much. Does anyone know what causes thus pain in this locations? Trying to help myself and others change our lives if possible, to reduce this type of pain.
I did a full body deep tissue message
Going thru this now. So much pain. At work, I stand and look down. So I'm sure this is how it happened. My shoulder will pop and I feel better, but then it goes back. Would K tape help taping the shoulders back?
I feel like i have always had pain in the lower shoulder blade. Very much feels deep underneath. It is just always there. I sometimes can shift it but it's always there.
Yeah same it don't hurt that much but it's irritating
I have a pain in my shoulder blade which I was told was a damaged nerve from a massage. Only thing that makes me feel better is when I apply extreme pressure on the "spot" with a thumb or ball.. the pain feel like its in my heart as well.. Do you think this is the same thing? please help!!!!!!!!
Such a nice video but very low volume
the sound on the video is so low hard to hear
My husband is having this shoulder pain after severe electric shock while shooting a video 8 months back.Can this be cured???? Give me suggestions
Dealing with this off and on for about 6 months, physical therapy helps, but pain is always chasing me. Trying to find a comfortable way to sleep, skiing and driving seem to make the pain worse. Your suggestions eased the pain, trying to work on postural improvement and strengthening my back. Was wondering if acupuncture would be beneficial.
I don't know where I read this but it made difference to my pain. While driving, you can try holding the steering wheel at 8'o clock and 4'o clock position
Certus0 that makes sense, because that is where I hold the steering wheel (the least impactful position). Just driving for 3 or more hours leads to most of my pain.
Yes likely but you likely need to get it adjusted by a chiropractor
My husband thinks I should try acupuncture as well, have you tried it yet?
I have a numb spot the size of a golf ball on my left upper back just below the right of my shoulder blade. What could it be? Had this for 3 years now
Thank you doc..Whom should I consult first if I am having this problem
Thanks - there are a few nuggets in this that I am trying to relieve pain. Unfortunately, my chiro has not been able to help with this issue despite repeated attempts. I suspect this came from walking my dog- he pulls a lot and may have caused the rib to go out of place or some related soft tissue damage. Ever run into this before???
