MY BACK IS ON FIRE!
For the past week my upper back near the bottom of my shoulder blade has felt like i slept wrong on it. I have tried the heating pad, tylenol, sleeping differently, stretching, everything and it wont stop hurting. Its dull in the morning and as the day goes on it gets progressively worse to the point where it almost hurts a little to breathe in. I talked to my OB about it on Tuesday but she said it's probably just a muscle strain and it should go away just to keep heating it...its starting to really drive me insane but i know if i go to my primary he's going to tell me the same thing my OB told me especially since i'm pregnant and they can't really give me much. booooo
any suggestions? I even tried Serg's shiatsu chair massager thingy but i think it made it worse ![]()
Re: Why does it feel like...
I had something very similar a couple years back...went on for months.
I don't usually recommend chiro, but for that one area (pinched nerve, muscle strain, whatever)...it did seem to solve it, and hasn't come back. Massage might also work, or maybe some back/shoulder stretches?
