Joe,

I read this post and I have to say that I am shocked as to how similar my issue is to yours. I am a 38 yr old male, 6’4 235 lbs and I am a computer programmer. I have had a knot (trigger point) just above my left scapula that has been burning for over a year now. The tingling below the scapula is now constant whenever I am sitting.

I went to a rheumatologist, a neurosurgeon, MRI , xrays, nerve tests, etc. I have reversal of the lardosis of the cervical spine, spodilosys?, and disk degeneration pretty much in all the disks of the cervical spine.

I am completely functional and have no lose of motion or strength so both of the well known neurosurgeons in Miami say surgery is not advised. So I have been doing the PT to correct the forward head posture and my neck is much better but the shoulder issue is still bothering me. I am now taking Lyrica 150mg when the pain is unbearable.

It’s been a few months since you first posted, do you have an update?

Please free to contact me.
