I sometimes get a deep achy burning under the edges of the scapula & it is the rhomboids.
They are actually a fairly weak muscle and can be overstretched/fatigued by having the shoulder forward posture - that's when they start to burn and hurt.
I can get rid of that pain easily by doing the ball stretches or laying on the foam roll & paying better attention to my shoulder postures.

Jo Mar,
I'm not exactly sure. And it's different all the time.
Sometimes I feel it on the outer edge near the top of the scapula. Today, I felt it towards the left side of the scap where the rhomboids are located. It feels like a cross between a burning feeling and somebody pinching me on the scap.
I'd find it hard to believe that my rhomboids are weak. I can do cable rows pretty well with my right hand and do "superman's" on a swiss ball with 5 to 8lb dumbells held up with my scaps depressed. I usually maintain this hold for 60 seconds.
I don't do this stretch either. Dumb. I have a foam roller that I could use as well.
