Hello,

So this morning I got back Into bed as our little one had woken up. I was laying flat on my back and used my right elbow to kind of roll me onto my left side. As I did this I got an excruciating pain on my right side just below my shoulder blade. So painful at first it took my breath away.

Now I'm up and about that whole area feels so sore, if I take a really deep breath it turns, but there is a general aura of uncomfortableness and pain, any movement involving that area also hurts.

Thanks,

C

    It sounds like you pinched a nerve in your back and it's just going to take some time to heal. You might try putting some ice on that area 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. I'm assuming it's a sharp pain and if it is that's actually good news. Most everyone I know that has chronic (3 months or more) back pain the pain it is not a sharp pain but rather a dull aching pain. Pains that are Sharp can go away within 3 months. I'm hoping that things get better for you soon.

    Sorry to hear about your back troubles... Sounds like you are going through a lot of pain and discomfort. I was going through the same thing for 3-4 years until i found a book called Healing Back Pain By: Dr John E Sarno. After finding a cure for my back pain i said i will reach out to everyone i can. 

    3 Years ago I was in a car accident that caused a whip lash in my neck which resulted into major Neck, Back and Left Arm pain. After MRI's and Ex rays doctors told me i have a C5-C6 herniated Disc. After 2 years of Physical Therapy, injections, seeing neurologist and spinal doctors nothing could help. My Back surgeon advised surgery and I thought that was my way out of this misery. 3 months later I had the surgery and i finally started feeling better! I continued to get rehab and massages for a year and a half after the surgery and i felt great! All of a sudden the pain came back with a vengeance. At this point i could not bare the pain i was dealing with.. I could not sleep, lift, sit or lay down without feeling some kind of pain or extreme discomfort. 

    This is when i found Dr. John E Sarno's Book. I've been reading all of his books this year and i can finally say i cured my back pain. This may sound crazy to some of you but what most of you are experiencing is not actually "back pain". It is oxygen deprivation that is making you think you have a back abnormality. We have a conscious and an unconscious mind. Most of you may have thoughts or repressed anger in your unconscious that you may have never addressed or faced. What your body is doing is distracting your mind from reaching into your unconscious by causing you to focus on a physical pain such as Back pain, Leg pain, Sciatica and so on. 

    Unfortunately Dr. John E Sarno is no longer with us and has passed this summer. I do not work for him or any of his colleagues trying to sell his book. I'm just a normal guy that experienced all of your troubles. Its an easy read and the book is 8 dollars on Amazon. Give it a try and you will thank me later.
