Question:
I've pulled a muscle under my right should blade (not sure how), and everything I do seems to irritate it. Now it even hurts when I cough! I've already taken some Motrin for the pain, but what can I do to make it heal up quicker? Its not like I can go without moving my right arm all day!
Answers:
I injured the same area when I was younger and that is a recurring spot for muscle strain - sometimes it gets so bad it twists my shoulder down out of place.
The problem with that spot is that babying that area will make the rest of your back hurt and slow down healing.
The best advice I can give is plenty of muscle relaxants and about a weeks rest. I normally use Robax Platinum, but if that does not work I go into the doc and get a prescription for stronger muscle relaxants and some Tylenol 3s.
Good luck!
