Usually on Easter I am with my family at my mother-in-laws at this time but I am here at home because of a freak injury and a kidney stone.
I was having a kidney stone attack 2 days ago and as I was tossing around in bed I felt what I can only describe as a tear in my back right above my left shoulder blade. The pain was intense and actually made me yell out loud. As if the kidney stone pain was not bad enough on its own this new pain was nearly as intense. It has been very, very sore ever since. The pain shoots up the back left side of my neck and down to right below my shoulder blade. I cannot get comfortable no matter how I lay at night. If I lay on my right side I can still feel the pain on left. Laying on my back is out of the question as the pain is too much. I have had nearly no sleep in the last couple of nights because of it. I cannot hardly move at all in fact whether I am standing or sitting or laying without pain.
I am pretty sure that I have torn a muscle but am having a hard time finding anything much about treatments on the net.
Has anyone else experienced something similar and do you have any tips on how to treat it? Right now the pain is something awful.
Thanks,
Jeff
