scapula

Hi,

My lower scapula seems to be sticking out in the normal anatomical position.

Sometimes on the bus i get a tight sharp pain on the medial edge of both scapula's also.

Is this because of poor or weak back musculature?

Sounds like what you are describing is winging of your scapula where the medial inferior edge sits away from the thorax, usually indicative of weak Serratus anterior muscles. The tight sharp pain you describe could be muscular or possibly supra thoracic nerve

thanks!

does anyone know how to work up the SA ive only got dumbells and an elastic band.

And im pretty sure pain i sometimes get is musculature.

thanksbro

hi

do press ups with extra shoulders push when arms are streight.

back flat on a wall, arm flexing, rotating.

horisontal extention with the elastic band (focus on scapular adduction-rhomboid mu),
probably ull need some posture and control correction,good to see physio or similar to design proper programme for you

all the best

I've got a question about a broken clavicle. I did it 2 days ago and the bone is overlapping now by about an inch although the broken ends are not touching each other. I was told at the trauma clinic that they were going to just leave it to heal naturally but I want to know if that is sensible - surely that will leave the shoulder uneven in length and a lump showing. Is this the best decision for the long term future and if it needs pinning when is this best done? It's my right shoulder and I'm right handed. Can you advise me on the best way to get out of bed please. ps Mum typed this for me!
