Question: Pain Under Left Shoulder Blade when Bench Pressing


 lesocaster - Thu Sep 17, 2009 1:19 am Bookmark and Share  

I am 15 years old, and when ever I bench press i get a kind of sharp/Cramp pain under my left shoulder blade. It is really inconvenient because i have to stop my set. I aslo feel it later on that day, like right now! The weight is not an issue ( I think - 160lbs) After a few reps - 3 or 4 - it starts. I have been using proper form as my coach has told me so. Any replies are appreciated.

Thank You!

User avatar Hello,
Pain between the shoulder blade from bench pressing may be referred from the shoulder or may be a muscle sprain of the subscapular muscle or rhomboid muscle.

Make sure you warm up and cool down before and after each lifting session. Stretch appropriately. And take NSAIDS for one week.

If no better after 1-2 weeks then see your physician.

Take care.
