burning pain

[crazn]

i thnk its a muscle pain? or something but definetly pain. Time to time maybe once every 2 weeks more or less i don't really keep track but i'd get this pain like someone just got something hot nd put it on my left shoulderblade it would start burning really bad where i don't want to move my left arm AT ALL then the burning pain would slowly go away but still their and then if i move my left arm the bone itself i guess hurts instead of burning like im pulling the bone out of place or something when im just tryin to move my arm or raise it a little so then i wouldn't be able to move my left arm at all again for a minute the entire burning and bone pain lasts about 3 min or less but never stayed it just came and went

What you have is an active trigger point in the serratus posterior superior muscle. The reason it's difficult to get at and it is so painful is because the trigger point lies under the shoulder blade (scapula) and it is lodged between two bones - the rib and the shoulder blade.

If you have a masseuse work on this problem you must lay on your side so your arm hangs forward so your scapula (shoulder blade) moves out of the way.

You can relieve the pain yourself by laying on a tennis or golf balls while you lay on your back on the floor with your knees bent. Your arm must be positioned across your chest so your shoulder blade moves out of the way. Place the tennis balls underneath the sore spot and let your body weight add the pressure.

When done correctly the relief you feel will be immediate.
