Caused by inflammation and local overuse. Long-term poor posture can lead to muscle spasms in specific areas, resulting in muscular inflammation and subsequent pain, commonly manifesting as pain on the inner side of the scapula. In the absence of trauma, shoulder pain is primarily due to muscle strain or fasciitis caused by fatigue or colds. Pain and soreness in the shoulders may occur when exerting force. It is recommended to rest adequately and reduce time spent with the head lowered.
