upper middle shoulder pain on climbs.
when climbing, middle upper shoulder pain develops. Holding bar too tight? Usually occurs only after riding 2+ hours. Suggestions?

Re: upper middle shoulder pain on climbs.
Are you in or out of the saddle?

Most always in the saddle. However, the pain generally develops when climbing for longer periods. When climbing, I tend to hold on to the bar vs. the hubs. Last year, on a x-country bike ride, was first time it ever occurred. Even then, in thinking back, I was holding the bar most often. As mentioned, generally starts after a couple hours. Thanks for thoughts. Greg |

Re: upper middle shoulder pain on climbs.
 Any others symptoms? How about when you reach for the back of your neck? If so, you may have mild "shoulder impingement". I'm currently going thru physical therapy to recover. Good luck. |

Thanks. My posture is not the greatest, I look at computer screen a good part of every day. Sometimes I can get that pain even at work. Thanks for the input. I suspected something such as that. Greg |

I am a software engineer and spend many hours in front of a computer but I relax, try to sit up straight when I think about it, but also adjust my position at work quite often just as I adjust my position at times during a long ride - sit, stand, move forward or backward slightly. The body notices the change and blood flow is affected.
