I can definitely try to help you out with some tissue repair modalities, but i do need to know specifically where you have this pain. Can you pin point which muscle the 'butterfly' is, if your referring to your late (the big muscle under the armpit) or is it on top of the shoulder, your trapezius, or below that, along the border of your shoulder blade?

Usually pain comes from inflammation. If you can stretch it and move it around without pain, do it more often. For now, ice and heat will help with any inflammation.

Also can you describe the pain? Sharp, dull, tense, burning...?

thanks its a sharp tense pain I have to hold my breath because its painfull to breath in . And if I move my head down it hurts more. It's gone at the mo it lasted 48 hours but I can still feel it is tense and its just waiting for me to do bikeing and then bammm . I've now been stretching it out and a hot hot bath seemed to help . I may never stop this coming back but anything I can do to reduce it would be great .thanks

as you can see its not my trapezius mussel though this pic has helped me understand what mussels are what. I would say its my Rhombails mussel . Hope that's helped you get a picture of where I get the pain

Yes that does help, glad you got the picture and detail. As you mentioned that moving the head aggravates it more, it seems that it may be an adhesion or a knot in the muscle. Have you applied direct pressure over the site of interest? If you can do so in a massage fashion, it can help to relax the muscle a bit more. A golfball, lacrosse, or tennis ball can help to apply small amounts of pressure. Or if you can reach the area, use your hands to apply pressure to the area, for 30-60 seconds. Then stretch it out a bit. That could help a bit more.
