hi all...right now i'm having pain and stiffness from muscle tension with knots or trigger points in my upper back and shoulder on the left side. i think it's been building for a while and the combination of stress, bad sitting and sleeping posture and sitting at a desk every day for work finally pushed it over the edge. i've been using heat (http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Heat), over-the-counter pain patches and Aleve (http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Naproxen) or Advil (http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Ibuprofen) with some relief. today i just put a pillow on my desk chair and that seems to be helping too. i had this before on the right side over a year ago. i'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem from stress and anxiety.
