Hi,I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion this pain is unlikely to be related to injury It could be due to a condition called fibrofascitis in interscapular region.
I would suggest Pain killers , Muscle Relaxant and physiotherapy.
Local Steroid infiltration may be required if there is no / only partial relief in 10-14 days.
