<human>: I have a burning ache under my left shoulder blade, between the shoulder blade and spinal region. It is made worse by prolonged standing and is similiar to the pain I would feel on active duty during road hikes when I would carry excessive weight on my back for miles?
<bot>: It may be due to overuse of the rhomboid muscles. Avoid excessive carrying on your back and try stretching it:bend your chest toward while sitting with straight legs bringing your hands touching your feet for 1 min, then stretch to the opposite side each arm, keeping it on the chest with the other hand. Repeat this twice a day for 10 days if you find a bump/knot/hard part of your back muscles, you have a contracture: keep it warm with hot showers and warm wearing, in case take myorelaxong Chat Doctor.
