TORN LOWER SHOULDER BLADE MUSCLE

Lower Shoulder Injury

An overloaded shoulder muscle is usually why a muscle tear happens. A torn infraspinatus (lower shoulder blade muscle) is a typical handball muscle injury.  Tendonitis regularly occurs before a severe tear and tendonitis can be concurrent with an inflamed bursa (bursitis subacromialis).

Limited soreness after weight-bearing is common (impending muscle pull or inflamed tendon) which can aggravate a worse muscle tear, if an exercise isn’t modified. For serious conditions, abrupt radiating pain is experienced in the muscle (slight muscle tear or muscle pull), and worse circumstances a fierce detachment is sensed which immobilizes the muscle (muscle avulsion). Three typical symptoms of a lower shoulder blade muscle strain are pain from compression (exterior – back shoulder), stretching, and force against resistance (outward gyration upon resistance).

Evaluation for serious conditions

A minor condition with slight shoulder muscle soreness doesn’t require a diagnosis. For stronger pain, a limited movement medical diagnosis is imperative for a more befitting rehab. A routine medical evaluation is adequate yet an ultrasound scan helps, for a more incisive shoulder injury examination.

Rehab for a minor strain of the shoulder muscle blade usually is mitigating pain after movement, stretching and therapy for the muscles and shoulder. Gradual intensification of tenderness after weight-bearing without experiencing separation and moderate muscle function – the medical treatment is NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or a corticosteroid injection (typically in the subacromiale bursa over the infraspinatus muscle).

This injection therapy is extensive rehab of a recurring injury therefore consistently stretching helps to prevent reoccurrence and a muscle tear. The tendon can’t bear weight for long stretches, and it can only withstand a brief rehab program. An ultrasound maneuvered injection facilitates optimal remedy, whereas a ‘blind injection’ usually impacts the incorrect anatomies. For limited mobility, medical therapy typically an operative treatment is done.
