WTD for injured area between shoulder blades

[[te...]]

Hello BB,

Yesterday, I awoke and sat up in bed. Shortly afterwards the area between the shoulder blades, more to the right, began to ache. I guess I pulled something?!? It hurt all day and was worse at bedtime. When I awoke this morning, it was almost gone, until, I sneezed. OUCH!!!!!! It's back with a vengeance--and the pain is horrible. I've taken 2 acetominophen but so far not much relief. Am scared to take Ibuprofen. So, what do you all think? Heat and then ice? Heat only? Ice only? Welcome your suggestions. T2

Usually for something like that (muscle spasm) ice works. If not, try heat. I've been having that, not related to w/d but overuse of my right (dominant) arm.
