    I'm having a somewhat similar problem, and I think it could be at least partly posture related, so I'm wondering: What does "down and back" mean? Relative to what?

    I am having a similar issue. Not so much pain in the shoulder blades, but crunchy neck. After I ride, I am tense below the neck and shoulder blades a bit. The crunchy neck just grosses me out when I turn my head from side to side. Now I am no Spring chicken, but that is something new!

    Mine seems to be nerve-related pain, right along my spine on the right side where my neck meets my back. It's a very specific spot. I don't know if it's posture, bike fit (although I did get a bike fitting and everything else seems great), or lack of core strength. Sometimes it hurts almost immediately when I start riding, and sometimes not until after 40 miles or so.
