I think I may have torn part of my lat at some point. I’ve had this pain near the upper center of the left side of my back. Its been bothering me on and off for nearly a month now. I’ve tried ice, heat, message and light stretching. These seem to help for a little while but the pain keeps coming back (usually during lifting or BJJ). I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things to try which don’t involve stopping training altogether or seeing a doctor (I think I’ll wait on that till I’m back on my colleges health plan in a month). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
tough situation there…try working around it until you can make it to the doc.

Why would stopping training not be an option for you?
