Q. How to manage the spine and shoulder blade pain caused by an injury from doing a shoulder exercise?
Hi doctor,
I hurt my back doing a shoulder exercise. The area in pain is in the middle of my back between my spine and shoulder blade. The pain seems deeper, and a massage in the area does not help. Could it be a pulled muscle? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
The pain that you had could be a facet joint irritation and lock. I suggest you apply a lot of ice in that area and do a bit of foam rolling. Do some thoracic mobilization, like lying over the foam roller and arching back. Slowly move it up and down. You could have anti-inflammatory tablets if you were prescribed them earlier. Icing is to be continued for two days for 15 minutes once every two hours.
I hope you find it helpful.
Kind regards.
