Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
The location of pain what you have mentioned exactly coincided with the Rhomboid muscle location. The pain here may be due to a partial tear in the muscle attachment which might take nearly 4 - 8 weeks to get full relief. You need to consult your pain therapist regarding the further course. If MRI is clear then you would not have any neurosurgical problem.

Hello,

I have sen the MRI report. It does not reveal any spinal pathology. Hence you should probably suffering from a muscular pathology. To find out the probable cause, the treatment and prognosis, you need to been examined thoroughly by a pain specialist.
