Pulled upper back muscle?!
Question:
Pulled upper back muscle?
I pulled my muscle yesterday on my upper back just below my neck, I was just wondering why I got a really bad stinging sensation rather than pain? It still feels like its stinging now but only when I over stretch. Does anyone know what i can do to help it?
Answers:
See your dr. but in the meantime use ice and ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. Heat will make it feel better short-term, but ice will bring down the swelling long-term, which is the cause of the pain.
It may not be a pulled muscle, it may actually be a muscle spasm. For that you may need muscle relaxants and PT.
Best wishes.
