Is anyone out there missing there right trapezius muscle?

I am 17 and in alot of pain because I am missing my right trapezius muscle. I have been to see about seven doctors and every one says they have never seen this before.  I am the first they have ever seen like this.  I am always in pain and I never get any sleep because of this.  I am just trying to find someone who may have this problem or may know some answers?

I am not sure if its the same muscle, but my grandson was born missing a muscle in his back, he seems normal and no one would ever know if they werent told. he will never be in sports or a heavy  lifter but he is normal in every way. sadly, I probably won't see him ever again, his mother and my son are split and she has taken him away. that is why I don't know to much about this, but, yes, some people are born with a muscle missing.

You can add me to the club, although for me it's the left trapezius muscle.  It's a recent discovery that was stumbled upon as I was experiencing a lot of upper back pain.  I have heard the same thing, "Wow....I've never seen that before".

hi there, i was involved in a bad car accident and i had a shoulder injury which caused winged scapula. i am missing my left trapezius muscle, my left sternocleidomastoid muscle, and i also have spinal accessory nerve palsey....   do you guys have problems lifting your arm above your shoulder height?  or shrugging your shoulders? do your shoulder blades stick out when you lift your arm??

I have a 11 year old daugther that is missing the right muscle as well.  We have been to a ton of doctors have have heard the same thing.  One even told me she had a better chance of winner the lottery than being born like this.  We are getting ready to go through more x-rays in the up coming weeks to see if we can find anything else out.  Has anyone ever been to a doctor that has been able to tell them ANYTHING????  Any help or information would be great.  I do find it odd that everyone is missing the right, there has to be some connection?????

My son is currently 4 1/2 and he was born missing his right sternocleidomastoid muscle. He's never be able to play contact sports. We have to be extremely careful since his lung and artery are exposed. He started physical therapy at the age of 7 months. He graduated from therapy at 3 1/2 and is doing great. I would just say see a pt and an ot as well as stretch a lot! Good luck!

My son is 27 and is missing a left trapezius muscle .  He lacks confidence and will not remove his tee-shirt.
He wasn't born that way and I truly believe it was caused by injury whilst on a water slide at age 10. The shoulder
is now deformed and as he also has a hearing impairment now suffers from depression as he feels there is noone
out there with a trapezius muscle missing.  There must be something that can be done to correct this problem.
Would appreciate any information.
