Hi all,

I am feeling freaked out about my upper back. I have had a sore shoulder/upper arm for a month or two. I put it down to frozen shoulder as liftin my arm makes me wince. However, on Friday night I woke up in the middle of the night in agony. My upper back was giving me so much pain, I could not move (between shoulder blades). I lay there for a long time, eventually I did get back to sleep. The next day, the excruciating pain had gone, but just a bit sore and achy, which has subsided over the next couple of days.

I cant understand why I was just lying in bed, and this horrific pain came over me.

It doesn't help that I read about a lady who could not get a GP appointment about her sore neck, shoulder and back for ages, and when she did they refused her an MRI, telling her that it was likely RSI. She eventually went private, to discover that she had cancer in those three places, and has been given 2-3 months to live. :-(


I dont know whether I should be seeking help, or hiding away
