What is Scapular Strain?Scapula is a flat triangular bone found at the back of the shoulder and attaches the arm bone with the ribs. Pain in the scapula or the shoulder blade is quite common and often the result of excessive physical activity.
Recovery TimeMild scapula strains heal in 1-2 weeks, severe scapula strains in 1-2 months.
Diagnosis is done by physical examination and medical history. To diagnose the underlying cause, an X-ray or an MRI scan of the shoulder blade may be recommended.
