Pain between shoulder blades

[wjduke]

I get the same pain on longer rides. I shrug my shoulders as was suggested, move around as much as possible. I’m not in very good shape either, so that doesn’t help. Not over weight as much as just getting weak in my older age. I’m sure that’s part of it. My bike is still all stock as far as bars and add ons.

Yea, tell me about it. Seems when I hit 60 years old the downhill slide started. Loss of muscle tone, beginning of arthritis in thumbs, ect, ect.

Getting old ain't fer sissies.

I had the same issue, sharp pain between the shoulder blades, but went with a set of "Grip Puppies" for under $20.00.
I think the small diameter OEM grips were causing me to grip too tightly.
As soon as I added these I noticed the pain went away.

Had planned on a set of risers but never had to go that far.
