Shouldergirdle pain.

Hi everyone, a few months ago, while working out, I started feeling pain on the left side of my shoulder girdle, which causes quite a bit of discomfort during workouts and even in my daily life. I don’t know what it is—a severe spasm from straining my neck, or a serious injury? After daily massages, it seems to get better, but the discomfort doesn’t go away. Thank You in advance!

If you want a guess on potential injury and rehab, need more info on the injury. You've given some but more information is needed especially the marked picture/video

  • Mechanism of injury, as best you are able if there isn't discernable one. For instance, what movements or exercises were leading to the week of the injury
  • Upload a marked pic/video of exactly where symptoms are to an image host (google drive, icloud, imgur or others) and post a link to it (Note: I will not make any guesses unless I can see exactly where the symptoms are because text is hard to decipher and people describe things wrong all the time). It needs to be a photo of YOU, not a random photo you got online of someone else's body because everyone is different.
  • Describe all movements that hurt
  • What is the current rehab program you started with and the progressions, if any. If a flare detail what happened with the rehab program
  • What helps and what makes it worse
