Hi,

So sorry you're having these problems.

You describe it all too well.

Sometime etiology may not be as important as a fix or workaround.

for my winged scapulas, I've had many, many hours of therapy, myofascial release, aqua therapy, stretches, yoga, 2 lbs bumbells, Kinesio taping (trememdous helper for winged scapulas) , stallette ganglion injections into my scalenes, trying to stabilize scalenes to help everything - didn't do the trick - also had botox to scalenes - helped just don't last.

Lidoderm 5% patches.

BackMagic spine alignment board.

Miracle Ball Set. and oversized tennis balls, mostly for lower back and thoracic spine, but will put in between scapulas.

I also used a Theracane for my scapulas and related muscle spasms.

e-stim during PT sessions. Moist heat.

Stretches after a shower. Lying on my back with a rolled towel longways up and down my spine. I would stretch my arms out and SLOWLY raise them to center and SLOWLY lower them.

I have also used LED and infra red light therapy pads to my scapulas. They helped tremendously.

Of late, I have found that keeping my arms, shoulders, scalenes and scapulas fleece warm cuts down on my pain tremendously.

Don't know if any of these might help, but just some things to share that have helped me.

Oh, also a hairdryer on a stand is a must.

Would be glad to explain or share any details you may need to understand what I've written here.

I hope you find some peace with your situation.
