Alright well the pain is in the top right of my left shoulder blade and it goes away and comes back every so often. It’s been happening for roughly 3 years and the pain is like muscle pain but then it’ll get completely numb and the pain can last for about a week at a time. I’ve tried putting a cold bean bag over it and a warm one but neither worked. Could it be some kind of nerve damage? I do tend to slouch a bit sometimes..Anyways, I just want to know what could be causing it and what I could do to prevent it.
no it doesn’t sound like either of those..its not really like the joint its i guess the trapezius like on the top of the shoulder blade and i don’t feel it all the time. It kind of..i dunno flares up with some activities? i was moving heavy boxes when moving and that made it hurt for the week and it sometimes acts up randomly when leaning over the desk for a while in classes and in labs..i do think it’s some kind of nerve damage so i guess i’ll look into that..
I went to the back specialist to test for scoliosis, I don’t have it, but he did say I had a slight curve to my posture and said that if I slouch any more I could be going down the road of osteoporosis, I try to stand straight but I’m not used to it… I have back pain within minutes, same goes if I stand or walk for a continuous amount of time. I just can’t get myself to stand straight, let alone with the back pain, I have to stay like this until my spine straightens during growth. And I’m NOT wearing a back brace!
What should I do, and how to deal with the pain
I’ve been playing guitar for a bit over a couple of years now, and have started to play more technical stuff and for longer periods of time. I play right handed on a Strat, and for awhile now I’ve been experiencing some pain and stiffness in my right shoulder/blade/neck area. Note that this only occurs when I play electric guitar, and not acoustic. When I stand up though this pain is not present because I hold my guitar lower than I would play sitting down (while standing, my guitar is probably down to my waist area). When I play sitting, the guitar rests on my right thigh. I don’t think there is necessarily anything wrong with my guitar playing posture but I do suffer from poor posture with regular sitting though. I tend to slouch a bit, I think. The pain subsides if I rest for a bit, or if I only play for brief intervals of time, say maybe 10-15 minutes. Is there a remedy to this or maybe some suggestions into fixing this, or can somebody point out what may possibly be wrong?
So i’ve heard some stories how Chiropractors only make you worse. But i figured i’d get the most out of me question on the wonderful www.
I slouch, my back muscles arent exactly super strong and neither is my core to support me for long periods of time. Although some physical therapy wouldnt hurt, i feel like my spine is well kinda bent out of shape. Should i go to a chiropractor and have him align me before i endevour on a long term physical therapy rehabilitation journey to fix my posture, or just avoid the chiropractor. I just dont wanna end up in some neck brace he might make me wear to push my head back LOL cause it kinda leans forward as well HAHA. Anybody had any good or bad experiences with chiro’s? Thanks!
I was realigned once as a kid, and i definately remember the pain involved. But it’s pain im willing to take in order to start the process.
I wish i had the room for a teeter hangup.
I’ve been going to the gym regularly for about 6 months now, but it’s difficult to do the excercises properly when your back refuses to help you out by being straight lol.
I have slight scoliosis so my doctor doesnt think I need it but my back has been hurting for the past 4 years but they dont want to do an MRI cuz Im a minor. Its my posture thats been making it worse cuz I tend to slouch a lot. Can I get a back brace outside of a doctor’s office? If so, where specifically? In store is better than online
Thanks
Its not specifically for the scoliosis but rather just the pan as an alternative to ODing on pain pills
