injured back...

[fusion]

well i hurt my back doing a trick a while back landed on my left side but it hurt my right side..... its like my upper back right side shoulder bit, i think its called scapula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Illu_pectoral_girdles.jpg), it like hurts around there but more toward the middle or my back sometimes and futher right depending on what im doing, i was just wondering whats best to help recover? does like wraping around bandage type stuff actulaly help? how about deep heat patchs and like tiger balm stuff, does that actullay help or should i not bother or anything that would help other than resting lol

thanks

:o realllllllly?

Yes. Everyone is going to say the same thing ultimately. They're going to say "Maybe it's this" or "You could try that." But it all boils down to one simple fact:

See a doctor.

erm well i was planing on doing that you know if it dosnt go away within 2 weeks or more or something, then i will see a doctor, i just want to know if anything that i listed above works and would help it recover faster, or is there anything that can?

Was this what you were holding at the gym on Sunday?

You could try a heated wheat sack if you have access to one. You could also try tiger balm if you feel that the pain is of muscular nature. Rest it for a few days and see how it feels. Do not flex to feel if the pain is still there all the time. Wait a few days and try it again.

Waiting for two weeks is a long time. One week without healing and it is guaranteed to be serious enough to warrant a visit.
