I've also got a pain in that same area. I was diagnosed with a rhomboid strain. It's been so bad before that my entire neck couldn't be moved without severe pain. I've been dealing with this for about 5 years now. I've had physical therapy on it, but it only helps the problem for a little while before I start feeling the irritation again. I noticed that when I sleep with my arms down by my sides and not over my head, the pain seems to go away somewhat. I think it has something to do with the muscle not being strained for the entire night.

I also avoid any exercises where I'm lifting weight over my head. Be sure to warm everything up really well too.
