Upper back ache (left side)
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi there
Just joined the forum. The last 3-4 weeks I've been experiencing pain in my upper back... On the left side, possibly near the shoulder blade but is hard to locate.
I saw a physio yesterday and he treated the local area and gave me a few exercises to do for the next week or so.
This pain has been keeping me up all night and even just sitting or standing, the pain just pulses in and out, a little bit down my arm.
Context:
I'm a pianist. Recently moved house and sleeping on new mattress. Just bought a topper for the mattress as I assume the mattress is too firm - I'm a side sleeper.
Any tips on being able to stay asleep at night? The pain goes right into my arm and only seems to be alleviated when I am in child's pose.
Thank you and let me know if I can provide any more information.

Would the pinched nerve cause aching in the arm? My arm is feeling quite tired and sore

Pain is alleviating ever so slightly. Still have a pulsing pain in my shoulder... Only just yesterday, a couple fingers have gone numb
I'm seeing the osteo in two days. Should I be worried?
