I fell down the stairs about 1 week ago and now my back is sore...?

Question:

and it hurts when i run and walk up/down stairs. The pain is on the right side of my left shoulder blade and the left side of my right shoulder blade. I saw a docter but they said it was not broken or spraned. Any ideas on how to make it heal faster or ease the pain?!?

Answers:
Alternate ice and heat on the areas, use Motrin 600 - 800mg every 6 hours, take a break from heavy exercise and lifting anything over 10 pounds. You could also consider seeing an Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) doctor or a chiropractor.

bed rest

Chiropractor, advil and a muscle massage/therapist person! Yay!

don't do that anymore

The doctor didn't give you that info? I would go see another one.

Try alternating ice packs with heat. Chiropractor is a good idea as well as deep massage. You probably bruised the bone and that takes some time to heal.

try to sleep with your back straight and not on your shoulder. i think that should help.

I know when I broke my collar bone pain killers and booze took my pain away. Maybe it will help you too.
