ouch! back/spine pain?
hi there,
i know i need to see a doctor if this doesn't get better, but i googled this, and i am either dying or just need ice...so if anyone's ever experienced this before I'd love to hear about it.
on monday i was squatting with the barbell and put maybe five pounds too much on there. i got through one set of 6 and on my second set slipped a little on rep 4, and felt myself catch with my back instead of my legs (on accident!) but was fine afterward. didn't hurt at the time, i just could feel that i used my back muscles to catch myself.
yesterday and today, one side of my back muscles between my shoulder blade and spine hurts so much sometimes that i want to cry (and i have a pretty high pain threshold.) my husband was massaging it a little and touched my spine, which hurt surprisingly badly. He said it's not bruised, but that's what the pain feels like, and it's the top of my spine between my shoulder blades.
I can understand why my muscle would hurt, but my spine? weird, right? Should I just ice it and hope it goes away? Any opinions much appreciated 
TIA
