Pec Minor

[SPPAWA]

G'day Nick,

I would be looking for a 2nd opinion if I were in your shoes assuming that you have been doing what your practitioner advised. 9 months seems like far too long to not have had resolution for that issue and either something was missed during your examination or there is another underlying cause. Can you pinpoint your pain? Is it in the front or back of your shoulder? If you can be a little more descriptive people may be a little more able to give some other explanations for your condition. Will look for your reply.

Hi Rachael, SPPAWA,

I will try some exercises to strengthen the muscles you suggested Rachael thanks

I do have a very mild scoliosis, which has never bothered me or limited me in anything (I wasn't aware of it until I was 28!!). My pain only started after I strained my pec minor. I can pin point the pain, it can vary between the following places:

Round about my 4th rib on the front of my chest (my mri showed nothing there).
The side of my shoulder blade closest to my spine and at the bottom of my shoulder blade.
My neck - upper traps mainly at the back, but can also be on the front outer area of my collar bone.
Occasional dull ache under my arm, as if the whole 4th rib is aching.
Down the outer side of my arm and my pinky and ring finger can ache and occasionally have a very dull sensation of pin and needles.

Thanks again for your help

Nik
