Upper back problem! Frustration! Help! :o(

[hftw83]

Hi! thanks for reply! I should've mentioned that i'm a 24/year old male soz! I have been told in the past that i have a flat back type posture, which has probably been made worse by the fact that i have a moderate pectus excavatum deformity .

To be honest my chiro didnt tell me much at all. Told me that those tender areas were myofascial muscular irritation and had weakness in my traps! By the time i finished the sessions he said he had more or less realigned and corrected alot of the areas along the spine, yet i still felt these points of pain and tenderness!

The physio at my hospital was just rude and didn't seem to want to know (hardly examined me ) anything and said more or less the same with added 'muscle spasms' and other 'muscles overcompensating' and referred me on to a class.

Here is a really basic image. Sorry for the lack of detail etc. It started on the right side at first but then as i wore my bag on both shoulders over the weeks the left side got affected! then my lower region. I can't really afford to see private help again and have to look forward to the back to fitness class at the hospital in a months time knowing that they havent really tried to help me, and potentially that it wont work, since i am already exercising steadily but feel the same. really frustrating!
