Hi Last week I hurt my back lifting my 7 year old. I felt the pain immediately on the left upper back. For two days now I have been experiencing a sharp pain in my back, on the left side. The pain is between my shoulder blade and spine that comes and goes. The pain sometimes shoots down to my elbow . Have been taking 600 mg ibuprofen to help w the pain. I was wondering if the pain could by caused from lifting my son or could it be something else. Thank you
Hi. The pain may be due to abnormal posture that you have adopted while lifting your son. Most probably it is a musculoskeletal pain, which will not be relieved by simple Ibuprofen. Please add a muscle relaxant also. Your pain will be subsided soon. All the best.
