Happy to provide whatever info is needed.
how did the pain start?
doing reverse dips at circuits - kinda twanged but not so bad I couldn't carry on - albeit in discomfort
when do you get the pain?
It's not so much pain as discomfort - it's there all the time from the min I wake up to the min I go to bed - intesnity depends on exercise but as I do 3 different sports it's hard to narrow down which one has the biggest impact
is it occurring at nght? spreading anywhere?
not at night no - it's in between the shoulder blades - wife has noticed a knotty patch on left shoulder blade but nothing major. massage made it better for a while
what makes it better or worse?
anti inflamatories helped - Naproxen - but try not to take them too often. Heat helps. I had a week off sport all together and there wasn't a marked improvement
does it occur when you move a specific part of ur body?
turning to the side makes it worse.
is it constantly there?
yes
is it a dull ache, sharp twinge...or burning pain?
dull ache most of the time but flares up badly every now and again - like today where it is very sore and stiff - but not unbearable pain that I can't move
any other painful joint or part of your body?
not so much - had knee and hip aches down the left side and achilles tendontis but exercisies are helping that
had this problem before?
no - back was not 100% right before but then whose is??
are you well within yourself? eating well
Yes. I started triathlons a year ago - lost 2 and a half stone in just over 2 years - eat carefully but well in my opinion
what happens when you lift your arms up? can you lift ur arms up?
yes it's ok - its when I twisto to the side it hurts
what diagnosis did the physio and chiro give you? and what have they done for you...
Well thats just it - the chiro gave no diagnosis - just said come back in 2 weeks all the time. That's whay I stopped - couldn't see where it was going. The physio said it could be poor posture - gave me some exercises to do and that was it. Had a massage at the physio but no long term benefit.
Hope this helps
