Hey all, what is everyone's thoughts on a rotator cuff causing scalene neck pain? I had a a bad rhomboid for the longest time the eventually made its way to my neck just wondering what happened first? My MRi of my neck showed nothing but hurts more then my shoulder ? My shoulder cracks a lot and has bad range of motion and when I retract my shoulder blade I get a pinch that shoots to my neck

hey Joey, have you looked into scalene myofascial pain syndrome?

When I read your other thread I thought it sounded like a cervical disk issue (I have a lot of neck and shoulder problems) but since your MRIs came back clean it eliminated that, that scalene myofascial mimics a lot of cervical symptoms.

You mentioned you're getting a shoulder MRI, that might give you some answers (or at least help eliminate some things.) Good luck, shoulders can be real SOBs, unlike knees there just isn't any "extra" space if something is wrong. Just a bit of inflammation or impingement in the wrong spot can trigger all sorts of problems in various areas

I'm really hoping my shoulder just shows a dysfunction that has caused this pain because my neck hurts only with movement and activity of my left shoilder. What is the protocol for the scale syndrome
