I was squatting a couple weeks ago and after I finished a heavy set, I felt a pain near my upper spine between the middle of my back and my neck.
Was it a sharp stabbing pain, or a dull sort of pain?
At the time of the original injury, it was more of a dull pain. Now, if I move my left arm to a certain position I get a sharp, almost hot type feeling! It’s quite strange.
It sounds to me like you may have affected a nerve. If I were you I would first go to a good Chiropractor. One who uses an “activator.” Try 4 to 6 sessions him him. If you don’t get the desired results then I would go see an Osteopath.
What I wouldn’t do is ignore it, or keep squatting.
Hope this helps.
A good chiropractor won’t just use an activator, but will actually have skillful hands with which to treat you.[/quote]
Hopefully you realize that it takes skillful hands in order to operate the activator correctly.
And naturally I am aware that Chiropractors can use both “hands on” correction as well as the activator.
But, in this persons case twisting and turning the spine could cause further damage. With an activator the Chiropractor is able to make adjustments without causing any other damage.
