Back/Shoulder/Arm pain

[A-J]

Hello everyone,

I've had a really bad week with PAs three days in a row. I ended up at the doctors and he reassured me that there was nothing wrong with my heart e.t.c... Today I have not had a PA and feel less anxious but have a really bad pain in the centre of my back, between the shoulder blades and it has started shooting down my arms. I think it's because I've been really tense but it has really scared me and doesn't seem to be easing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Dont worry ,i get this frequently,the pain is caused by tension and causes refered pain in the arms.I usually take cocodamol and use a heat pad,which relaxes the muscles.You can also use a hot water bottle.But i do recommend a wheaty pad you heat in the microwave for 2-3 mins.Try a nice soak in the bath first! a good way to start relaxing,with some lavender oil. luv suzy

Thanks for that, I've got a wheat bag I'll try that and hope in the morning it's eased.
