Help answer this question below.

I have a problem where my upper back between the shoulder blades and my neck are very weak. There has never been any trauma, but it is always aching and especially so if I try to strengthen it by doing any work !

    You should think of two important muscle groups: the rhomboids and the serratus anterior muscle. The rhomboid muscle exists between the scapula and assists in stabalization. The serratus anterior muscle is a gooey muscle that weaves in and around the ribs and helps the scapula assist the arm in sliding accross the plane of your back. Problems with the serratus anterior muscle can lead to pain in the medial borders (inside borders of the scapula) around the spine. Does either one or both of your scapulae wing out?

    Maybe its a slipped or hurniated disc or arthuritis. I have that & mine aches constantly. You may can go to the (excuse the spelling) chriopractor for some relief. They have helped me alot in the past & years ago I went to one & didn't need to go again for about 10 years. Muscle rub helps alot too. Sux getting older,lol.

    I have the same problem from a riding accident several years ago. The only things that help me are massages and lots and lots of stretching. A hot bath and some ben-gay work wonders as well :)
