Thread: Pulled/pinched muscle for over a month

God I hate getting older. So freaking annoying. Can never just go into the gym feeling fine anymore /RANT

So basically I randomly tweaked my neck/back for the 1000th time a month ago. Typically this involves a sharp pain behind my right shoulder blade when I turn my head to the right. Its just something I deal with every now and then. In the past, this would slowly fade away over a week and i'd be fine. Lately, its been a MONTH of this and it still hasn't fully faded.

If I had waited this out, i'd be a month into zero lifting. So i've been going every week but lifting super light. What do I do here? just throw my hands up and stop for another few weeks?

I already have PT exercises for my neck/back that I can ramp up, I guess I could do those more. It's just so frustrating..

Adjust your workout program.

Go to a chiropractor, regularly. I go once a month, and he puts me back together every month. Something is always out of whack. I'm always surprised by people who just live with pain, and then mask it with pain killers, and think that is normal. It doesn't have to be. Go get your self adjusted. You'd be amazed how much better you could feel after a few visits.
