Got hit with one of these yesterday after literally just turning to walk out the door. Felt like I was being crushed in a bloody great bear hug. Pain managed to localise itself after a few hours to somewhere beneath left shoulder. Have figured out how to ‘manage’ it so long as a don’t move ‘incorrectly’. Plus sleeping has to be down sitting up – can’t lie down as it takes 5 mins to get back up.
Can feel it settling down this morning but know it only takes a sudden movement and it’s on fire again.
Have ‘done my back’ in the lower regions in the past, but this is different. So are there any good exercises/stretches to do? Or is rest the best thing? Am on Voltarol and Ibuprofen.
Really peed off if I can’t ride this week.
