It sounds like a triggerpoint. But if it's in the rhomboids {kind of under the scapula} you'll have to move arms forward to get to that muscle.

I found that when i do too much or really neglect my upper body posture I get sore spots in the rhomboids. While trying to figure it out I read that they are a pretty weak muscle and if the shoulders are forward too much it keeps the rhomboids stretched for too long of a time. The fatigue sets in and then causes the TrPs.
Thanks Jo,
I saw your post this morning... I had hubby try but I just had some really bad tingling in my hand so I had him stop.. I'll just wait it out, I see my PM doc in a week and then I see Dr Jordan the end of Nov. it's a long way away but I'll get thru it...
Hugs
Dawn
