Trapezius Pain.
Posted: 12-26-07 07:41am

Evening all,

I'm wondering what would be the causes of a pain in the (what one feels is called) trapezius , just along the spot where the bone of the shoulder plate meets the latissimus dorsi. Such a feeling isn;t exactly pain but can be described as more a of a "tickling" sensation when lifting, pushing or pulling. It doesn;t exactly cause pain but does cause some discomfort and leads the affected person to wonder if it's something more serious. Pinching the shoulders together causes some relief.

Hypothetically lets say a person does boxing, lifts weights and carries a backpack using only the strap on the right shoulder (which surprisingly causes the greatest flare ups in the trapezius). Would an affected person need to worry or get it seen to by a doctor, seeing as it has been ongoing for a few weeks.

Hot baths, relaxation and pinching the shoulders together does not help.

Hello Cianmoran,

WELCOME to this forum.

By all means do see your doctor. Give him/her a call this week and make an appointment. The sooner you can see you doctor the better (as is true for all issues with the body). Delaying seeing your doctor may potentially make the situation worse.

I hope all will be okay soon.

Do stay in touch and let us know how things are going.

Take care.
