The anterior scalene muscle starts from the transverse processes of C3-C6, slanting downward and forward, and inserts into the first rib. When it contracts, the head bends to the same side and forward. The causes of anterior scalene muscle syndrome are: 1. Cervical spondylosis -- Spinal nerves C3-C8 provide motor innervation to the anterior scalene muscle. Their irritation or compression evokes increased tension in the anterior scalene muscle. 2. Chronic overload and muscular strain -- Chronic physical overload of the anterior scalene muscle or its strain also produce the clinical picture of anterior scalene muscle syndrome. Because the anterior scalene muscle participates in inspiration, patients with bronchial asthma frequently have anterior scalene muscle syndrome. 3. Visceral pathology -- The heart and lungs are innervated by the same segments of the spinal cord as the anterior scalene muscle. Thus, chronic cardiac and pulmonary disorders evoke reflex zones in the anterior scalene muscle and are ...

Shoulder Pain Rehab Video - Thoracic Strain THIS HURTS! What hurts...: my right shoulder hurts as I try to relax (just rest position) it or I try to move it down. When I am moving my arm doing any other activity I don't notice any particular pain. In fact, the pain is more like "under" my right scapula, I cannot "touch" a muscle that actually hurts. How you hurt it...: I have been cleaning and painting my whole new apartment for the last 5 days, could it be that? When you hurt it...: I actually think the problem started already some weeks ago, I normally don't feel pain, but AFTER I do some "work" like heavy cleaning or painting the walls, I feel I cannot relax the shoulder. The pain usually persists some hours or even one day. Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): 4, but it's very annoying because I cannot leave my shoulder relax, I feel like I need to hold the shoulder up to releave the pain, (or holding mu right elbow with my left hand) and when pain occurs, I don't know how to sleep comfortably. Your age and overall health...: 30 years, female, good overall health, quite active, I do sport (hiking specially) but often only have time for that during the weekend/holidays. Any other information you feel is relevant...: For the last months (last december especially) I have experienced more "problems" in my back, like muscle strain (right trapezium), and I had to do rehab for 15 days. thank you very much YOUR INJURY COULD BE... Thoracic Strain REHAB YOUR INJURY BY... Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day ...
