    Holy crap. I'm dealing with this right now. I've had x-rays and MRI's and been told I have scapular impingement, but no one has ever suggested this. My pain aligns 100% with your explanation and I'm taking this to my doc. You rock dude.

    Slip in shower tried to grab curtain (arm outstretched came down on edge of small tub) resulted in 4 broken ribs healed 4 months later next, frozen shoulder 18 months, next, opposite frozen shoulder 15th months. Shoulder (trapeze & shoulder blade area pain) 10 years later and many many drugs & specialists ( final orthopaedic surgeon ) referred to a physiatrist diagnosed with central sensitisation syndrome (CSS). Disgraceful diagnosis ends up after YEARS of trying to get to the bottom of the burning pain etc this looks like what has been going on, thank you

    Thank you so much for such a clear explanation. I've been dealing with this since I was younger, but I barely gave it a notice until recently when I carried something on the affected side and it started to tingle on my shoulder and arms. I was afraid I'd drop what I was holding. Figured out it was caused by my bad sleeping position, where I lie down on my stomach and wake up with a neck pain that lasts for 2-3 days.
    Again, thank you for giving us some clarity. I hope to watch more videos relating to it from your channel.

    WOW -This is a (probably) an amazing insight into my problem. I have had a shoulder issue, with pain around the scapular and an originally weak serratus anterior muscle for over 3 years now. The correlation of the way the pain manifests and the link to the neck is a perfect diagnosis. I had been to 7 physios, chiros etc trying to find the problem, and some MSK specialists through healthcare. I have also had X-Rays. No one has offered me a logical diagnosis and the 3 years of stretching and improving the strength around the rear of the shoulder to pul the scapular back has helped only slightly. I used to powerlift before the onset of this problem.
    So here is a QUESTION, when I fond out about this possible diagnosis I went to a new specialist (I had stopped paying money for no progress) I was told it's unlikely to be this as nerve problems are always worse at night, and my problem is not. Is this true? The professional then focused on the spine, and a lack of mobility in the thoracic region

While laying down there is no real pain. After she's on her feet for 5 minutes the pain starts. She's had 10 plus shots and nothing has worked. Can it effect her left arm/hand. Her left arm is weaker and hand as well. She's 79 years old and walks with shoulders hunched over. I think this is making matters worse. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      I was doing a bench press and felt a snap right into my spine wich came with a great pain. 2 days later the pain was gone, but I’ve started to fell it once again 1 month later and it hurts even now, six years later.
      I’ve went to many professionals and did many treatments but i’ve got no success with any of them.
      I did some exams on my spine and the doctors have said that I don’t have any problem on it... and the pain I feel is very strange because it looks like it’s placed on the side of my right shoulder blade but also placed on my thoracic spine (the pain is even greater there).
      The pain looks like it is a knife and I don’t have any position that I can get ride of it even for a minute.
      I am starting to think that it really have something to do with this nerve thing, but I don’t even know what kind of professional I should search for.
