Well...it can be classified as shoulder dysfunction. The muscles of the back (teres major, rhomboids, infraspinatus, supraspinatus, and latissimus) all attach or help move the scapula (shoulder blades). It sounds like when your scapula abducts there is pain. Can be bursistis as there are many bursea sacs located in and under the shoulder blades.

My advice to you is seek out a PT or ATC that is good with upper extremity injuries and begin some prehab/rehab exercises.

Don't wait to "hope it goes away".
