woke up with terrible back pain

[SoreArms]

I woke up with a terrible pain in my upperback this morning (around the rhomboids area), it hurts just to walk up straight. I did standing calf raises yesterday and I'm thinking I probably (improperly) rested the weight on my lower back instead of my shoulders. What can I do to lessen/stop the pain? I missed my back WO on Monday and plan to do chest and back today, would it worsen it if I go ahead and work out, should I just rest?

Go see a doctor if it's still bothering you. I hurt my lower back yesterday, and could barely move around. I went to the doctor this morning and he gave me a script for Norflex, a muscle relaxer, and now I can move pretty well.

I talked to some dude here at work who used to be a bb'er. He told me that I probably have some sort of inflamation and it's probably pinching a nerve and thats why I feel it down my arm. Ibuprofin + rest and no lifting for a couple of days

ouch. that sucks big time.

try heat and ice and see what helps out more. possibly even alternate between them. If you have one of those shower nozzles with the "massage" setting, try a really hot shower with that beating really hot water on your back. Might kinda hurt while doing it, but afterwards you'll feel better than before you got in the shower. I do this from time to time when my back is giving me issues (and i do have pretty serious back issues).

maybe have someone give you a backrub and see if you got any knots in your muscles too.

hope it gets better.

i won't bother taking ibuprofin with vicodin. vicotin already has 750mg of acetemophin (or however the fuck you spell that word) in it. if you must, i'd wait about 2 hours after the vicodin to take ibuprofin. just my $0.02.
