Those symptoms suggest a pinched nerve in your upper back or neck. A pinched nerve is a very serious condition. Your first priority should be to make an appointment with a doctor or spine specialist (for the back and/or neck) if at all possible.

You may have a pinched nerve in either or both the cervical spine and the thoracic spine. If it turns out not to be spine-related, the specialist could refer you back to a general practitioner. Second priority: try to stop doing whatever brought on these symptoms.

This is serious enough that you may want to take time off work until you determine what it is at work that is causing the problems. Some other tips that might help: - if you have done damage to your spine, the key is to back off the injurious activity and allow for the body to recover - don’t do any exercises that involve a lot of effort or heavy weight. Don’t do anything that puts you off-balance (left side versus right side).

Until your issues are resolved, mild exercise may be the only thing possible. Stop any activity that brings on the symptoms that you described. - practice good posture - In particular don’t "scrunch" your neck by lowering your head forward and downward.

- ice your neck or upper back (spinal area) using soft gel packs (store them in the freezer for 4 or more hours first) - Ibuprofen or Aspirin can be helpful. Acetomenaphin (Tylenol) can help with pain but not with inflammation. - sleep on a level surface (avoid any mattress that is uneven or rounded from too much use).

- use a pillow in such a way as to support the natural curvature of the neck while resting. The knots may be due to muscle spasms. Heat may be more helpful than ice for reducing these spasms.

I suffered a pinched nerve in my neck three years ago from heavy weightlifting, and have learned all of the above through personal experience (including consultations with spine specialists and a physical therapist).

It's possible you may have a nerve issue, possibly, a disc or muscle that has moved up against your spine, sometimes when circulation is comprimised it will cause tension or stress in the muscle or area. I am a professional massage therapist, I work on a lot of patients who suffer from upper torso issues like the one you have discribed. It's not always age related.

At any rate, try the following, stretch, ice, heat, deep tissue massage will help. Soak in a hot bath, use the Village Naturals bath soak for aches and pain, found at Wal Mart, it's usually under $5.00. If your concerned, see your doctor.

Not your shoulder blade but the nerves in that area are pinched. So stop moving it. Seriously, t stop using the arm.

Get a sling and stop using the muscles.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
