I've suffered from scapular winging for about 10 or 11 years now. It's interesting that you said that it was caused by a viral infection because the 1st naturopathic chiropractor I saw told me that my injury was due to an infection. I did not fall or anything. Long story short, I couldn't afford to keep seeing him & ended up trying a host of other things only to still have the issue but now it's worse in regards to pain & discomfort

I don't have to lay down to make my shoulder blades wing. I can move them separately using my arm muscles, better if I am sitting but I can also do them standing up.

Pretty sure I trained myself to wing my scapulas with improper weight training. For over a year now I can't lay down for more than 4 hours before my back muscles tighten and a nerve starts getting compressed, wrapping around into my ribs (Long thoracic nerve?). I'm hoping these exercises help. Going to see physio next week to see if winging scapula is part of the problem. I've had hypertrophied upper traps for a long time, been working on reducing the tension, and acupuncture has helped a lot for that but the problem persists. Are there movements i should avoid (overhead?) to keep from irritating it? I'm a carpenter and likely doing something at work that's not helping the situation.

[@robny]

That’s your shoulder rotator cuff popping like how you would crack your knuckles. That popping sound is actually gasses that get trapped between the joint in the fluids and when you crack the joint or your shoulder pops and makes that sound, that gas releases and goes through the joint fluid and makes the popping sound exactly like how a bubble would rise from under water and pop. Hope that makes sense!
