Rhomboid pain due to poor posture
I worked in an IT company and rhomboid pain(left side) started, it was bearable so I didnt give much attention to it, I sleep on my stomach and my posture is poor, right now (after 1.5yrs)my left arm feels a little numb and I am getting headaches only on the left side. On a level of 10 , I would rate my pain as 6,Is this serious? It comes only when I am in a poor posture for a long time. But I can notice my left hand's grip strength has reduced.
