I dunno if it is stress related.. (it may be)

I have had this same upper back pain before but it happened as soon as I woke up (assumed it was because my pillows are ridiculously flat). Yesterday I woke up fine but it wasn't until I looked down at work that it began hurting.

I couldn't sleep last night. It hurts so much more today.

I've tried taking magnesium which is supposed to promote muscle health and is apparently good for nerve impulses. (the natural way)

Been taking tylenol, Tiger Balm patches, used the heating pad this morning.

What a disaster - I need to feel better before the weekend and last time I had this pain it lasted a good 4 days.

Any suggestions?

Give it another day where you get some rest and see if it gets better. Self medication is usually a stupid idea. If it doesn't improve see a doctor. If the pain already is unbearable without medication see a doctor immediately.

I've been having back/neck pains that last for several days every couple of months. Then after those several days, the pains go away as abruptly as they had appeared.

Just drink lots of water.

Sounds like you have a muscle in spasm. There's a technique that Mrs. Hazard uses all the time (she's an RMT) that would most definitely help you. I can't recall the name of this technique but can explain it... see; there is a group of cells within every muscle that are responsible for detecting whether the muscle is contracted or not... when a muscle is in spasm these cells believe the muscle to be relaxed when the muscle is actually contracted. You can correct this by artificially shortening the muscle (simulating a contraction)... when the cells detect the shortening of the muscle they will then think it is contracted (which it already is)... ultimately, when you release the muscle again the cells recalibrate themselves and the spasm stops. It sounds complicated but it's really easy:
step 1 - identify the muscle in spasm
step 2 - have someone apply pressure to each head of the muscle (the ends where the muscle attaches to the bone)
step 3 - with pressure applied the person must push the two heads of the muscle closer together (as close as they can without releasing the pressure)
step 4 - hold muscle until they feel it begin to twitch/relax (2-4 minutes)
step 5 - gently return heads of muscle to original position and release pressure
step 6 - send me nude photos as an expression of gratitude.

see my other post.... this is an easy one to do this technique on... the attachment points you'll want to compress are at the base of the skull and distal end of your right scapula.

You're putting out fires all over the COR today, Hazard. Do you also fight crime on weekends?

It sounds like boneitis to me.



And I don't think they have found a cure for it yet.
