Check sick scapula off the list.

Could be present in concert with disc issues as well, can give you anterior/posterior shoulder pain and thoracic outlet type symptoms.

You need physio to combat it if it's present.

thank you for this info. i google it litlle bit and found very interesing. i realy feel like my left scapula is sick. not right side,only left.
but it is hard to diagnose this,specialy in croatia.
if i pop up with this question,they will think im crazy...

Just look at yourself in the mirror. If you have it, one shoulder will be lower than the other, your left one will be slumped. Look at your collarbones to help guide you.

Wooow,thanks hooch. Actually i do have lower left shoulder opossite to right. Also it goes to behind,not normal like right(sorry for my bad english..."behind"???) i hope you did understand. Weird thing is that the collarbone,when i look to right it looks normal,and on left side is like i have collarbone all the way to shoulder itself,realy weird. i never look this,front of the mirror.
I quote this from one site "...with “SICK Scapula Syndrome” will hold the affected shoulder lower than the other and also rotated forward.
im bolding this,because for example when i sit down,i automaticaly rotate left shoulder forward. then when i notice this,i try to put it back,but again it goes forward. i feel "easier" when i have it forward instead normal position...
EDIT2: i remeber,when dr told me : swimm alot,just swimm specialy on the back. Back swimming give me so much pain in left shoulder blade area. While back swimming,when with right arm its ok,but with left its so paintful and weeker then my right.
so i give up with swimming..

Damir, sounds like you are on to something. Maybe it is your scapula all along. Is that easy to fix?

I think its not so easy since is allready 3years chronic. It can be scapula problem,but there is also deep dull ache in my mid spine. It hurts when i touch the vertebral body around t6 t7. Something keeps teeling me that all this is related with disc problem.

From my lumbar problems, I used to drop one shoulder and hunch forward. Many different types of pain can alter your posture.

I don't think you can put pressure on a disc with any mild or moderate external pressure. Is it possible that the area that has point tenderness is muscular? Muscles that are overworked because they are over-recruited due to weakness in other areas, or because they are overcompensating due to posture or pain can have this type of tenderness.
