Feels like someone is driving a knife into my lung through my left shoulder blade, even hurts to breathe a bit. No way I punctured my lung but just sleeping on my arm or crooking my neck funny.
Why do I have to sleep like a bread knot lol
Are you hypermobile?
I get that and it turned out to be a stiffness/subluxation where one rib was attached to my spine. Sometimes it can crunch back into place naturally or with gentle stretching. Another time it needed to be adjusted by a physio. (Avoid chiropractors.)
I don’t think I’m hyper mobile; I’m pretty inflexible which I attribute that to lack of exercise lol I can still put my foot behind my head though so I got that going for me 😂
Though you are probably right with what the issue is. I’ll get my partner to give it a good massage when it isn’t 3am 😂
You can be hypermobile without being flexible, especially if you’re not able to safely stretch or exercise much. Your body can also defensively tighten your muscles to avoid hyperextension.
Heat helps the pain and helps things relax back into place if it is that
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 I’ll look into it, but for now will find a warm something to put on it 💜💜💜 you’re the best, I really appreciate your helpful advice and care!

Subscapularis and serratus anterior are the muscles in the area. Could also be rib head / vertebrae articulations.
Poi or club bells are good shoulder mobility exercises. Else time heals most things.
