Trap and Scapular pain
Sorry to hear of your pain but glad that I'm not alone in mine. Had my surgery 5 years ago. The pain is located at the top of my right rod and towards the scapula. I also have a terrible time with my Traps. Carrying and lifting my arms over my head have started to become difficult in the past few months. I, too have Botox for Migraines but my neurologist does my neck, traps and both sides of the rods hitting the scapula area. In the past this has helped but as of late it does not seem to be as affective. Waiting on results of MRI as CTscan by Ortho (in between docs right now) I was told by my PCM that the results showed bone fragments but she only read doc notes and could not tell me where those fragments were located. So not happy.
