My back

**Melissa** · 09-02-2010, 10:01 AM

Hurts so much. It hurts like I've fallen down the stairs. Or like I've spent the weekend digging up stumps. (I've done both of those before.) But I've done nothing of the sort lately. I have no idea what I've done, but I'm so miserable.

That's all. Just wanted to whine.

(I typed 'wine' inititally. I'd like to do that too.)

Is it just today or has this been ongoing? Did you sleep weird? Hope you feel better.

Oh man!

Have you had ongoing back issues?

**Dexter Dogg** · 09-02-2010, 10:16 AM

Hope you feel better soon. Nothing worse than back pain.

Not just today, maybe a week or so. But it hasn't been as bad as today. It started around my right shoulderblade for a few days, so I thought maybe I had just slept in a bad position. But now it's all over.

No back issues before besides the usual aches and pains here and there.

Sounds like you strained the muscle that runs from your shoulder down. Take 3 advil and call me in the morning.

If it is more than a day I would go to the doctor. My neck got progressively worse and when I finally went in I could hardly move my neck. I ended up having a buldging disk and 8 weeks of physical therapy. I would go to the doctor.

Maybe a massage or a Chiropractor?? Either way...hope you are feeling better soon.

You could try the cold compress than heat routine until you can see a doctor.. the cold first, it'll reduce swelling.. then heat to relax muscles.. i always just used heat and it's WRONG WRONG WRONG.. cold first!
