Referred pain/tightness in upper back means.?

Question: Ok, besides the obvious answer (go to the doctor) does anyone have solid info referring to a pain that occurs just below the clavicle on the upper side of the shoulder blade (in back) on the left hand side. It surfaces about 5 minutes into any rigorous cardio work like running or jumping rope. Am I just getting older and out of shape or what?

Answers:
I get knots on my left side. It feels as if its under my shoulder blade. I don't know if it is the same thing, but my massouse decided that I was sleeping wrong. I slept with one arm under my pillow and it obviously kept my muscles tight up there. I also lift my toddler everyday which doesn't help, To help myself, I've just tried to relax my upper back and neck everytime I feel myself holding my shoulders up. It's working so far.

Other Answers:
