What muscle were you training and what was the exercise that you were doing when it happened?

arms and barbell curls, it was weird bc i didnt feel myself sway or sling up the weight, it almost like i felt it on the way back down

I strained a muscle in my back years ago doing chest work on a machine. I know what your talking about. Whenever I took a a deep breath, or even a small breath in, I would get a sharp pain right next to my shoulder blade. I actually got a cortizone shot for it and rested it a month and resumed lifting after that.

It's your rhomboids!
I have the same prob. Mine has kept getting re injured over the years. They have little to no strength, and are just scar tissue and sinue now.. My shoulders and traps take on all the brunt of the loads which causes even more probs.
Maybe get into a Physical therapist, chiro/massage also. Definitely get a few opinions. It is NOT a fun prob to live with day and night for years.
