A repost from the NEMBA site:
Since last July, I have experienced an upper back burning sensation between the shoulder blades. This occurs mainly when I'm pushing hard for a while on the road bike or on an extended climb on my MTB. As a result, I gave up my road TTs and have had to back off on hard extended pushes on the MTB. It goes away almost immediately when I let up and is not an issue during normal daily activity, although jogging will produce the same problem. There is no pain when doing hucks or even on very steep ledge climbs. I've gone to a chiro, PT and an MRI has come up with zilch. I am going to finally do some real experimentation with IBU this winter while I am using the indoor trainer. It really sucks when you see your heart rate way down but you have to back off because of the pain. Fortunately, it isn't my lower back.
Has anyone else had this problem?
