I think I have a pinched nerve or pulled muscle in my back.. HELP please!!?

Q: This morning I was stretching when I felt a sharp pain in the middle of my back. Now I can’t bend or move my neck without pain shooting down my neck, arm, and back. Sometimes I even wake up with the pain, I guess from sleeping wrong. I get this about once a month and it lasts for several days, but it hurts sooo bad. I am wondering if there is anyone with experience with this and, if so, what can I do to make it better (aside from not stretching) and keep it from happening again? I have a friggin’ Tempurpedic mattress and pillow that doesn’t help. I’ve tried Vicodin, but that doesn’t do very much. I haven’t done anything strenuous lately, either. I do not have insurance or money to go to a Chiropractor – (Come to think of it, I will now put that at the top of my Christmas list!) Please help. I do not want to feel like this on Christmas.By the way, is it a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle?Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

Shoulder injury – pinched nerve? pulled muscle??

Q: I woke up and decided to reach for my phone. I must have overstretched or reached for it at a weird angle because all of a sudden I had a huge pain in my shoulder. I thought I had just pulled a muscle or something because that’s what it felt like. But when I got downstairs all of a sudden I couldn’t see anything – everything got dark and blurry with white dots, I felt like I was going to puke and pass out, I was weak feeling, and I had this weird sound in my ears that sounded like something deflating. My father says I probably pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle. Should I go to the doctor and have it checked out? Or just rest it and let it heal on its own?

A: Real bad pain can make you even faint, so that’s why it’s possible to see spots and get sick feeling, and when you are going to faint you always hear a funny muffled sound in your ears.It could be something like a rotorcuff, that is very painful.Father-in-law has this and it causes severe pain and has gotten to the point he has very limited motion unless he rests it.
