Hi ... i strained my body when i was awkwardly trying to both pull a lever on a rope down from toward the ceiling with one arm and lift from the floor up heavy garage door since the automatic opener was broken ... since then i have experienced pain in my back - between my spine and my right shoulder blade ... but also, when i move my right shoulder inward and forward into my body, something in there is clicking, like maybe something was dislocated ??? not sure ... but looking forward to hearing what you think the problem is
Hello, Thanks for your query. From the description given its likely that you have sustained muscle sprain. The pain is due to associated muscle spasm. So it is important to relieve it. I would suggest you the following which will definitely help1 Hot water Fomentation: Either by towel soaked in hot water or by hot water bag. Intermittent application of heat for 15 to 20 minutes each session 4 to 5 times a day will be helpful2. Muscle Relaxant: Oral taken muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone along with analgesic like Diclofenac Sodium will be helpful3. Local application of Diclofenac Sodium gel will be helpful. 4. Adequate rest and avoiding sudden movement. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
