The muscles between the shoulder blades and chest may become tight, tight, inflamed, or weak. In this position, the scapula is placed close to the chest and hits the ribs painfully while moving the arm. - The bursa is a bag filled with fluid that acts like a cushion and reduces friction between the shoulder and the chest or between the shoulder and the muscles. Sometimes the scapula may rub and irritate the bursa.
