Invest in a Homedics massager (model PA-1). It's a very good deep tissue massager, the only one on the market I have found to actually be therapeutic. You can pick one up at your local wal-mart or target. I got mine when they first came out and it cost around 40 or 50 dollars. Might be less now. You could be having tension in your shoulders. Everyone deals with stress differently. Mine goes to my neck and shoulders too and sometimes my back. As far as medicine, there isn't really anything you can take that will correct the problem. Pain pills will only cover up the symptoms as will other meds, but they won't heal anything. Try eating foods with more vitamin D and if you want you can try herbal supplements that knock the edge off of pain such as devils claw or feverfew. And don't over work your arms and shoulders, but do light exercises so they don't get weaker.

You poor woman! What is this world coming to?!If I were you, I'd call in EVERY DAY to see if there's been a cancellation with your Dr. OR, I'd get another DR! Hon, your predicament IS an emergency. This is very serious. You need to see the DR. pronto, so you may have some assistance.In the meantime, use hot compresses over pain; front and back and /or hot bathes.Geez, good luck

Odds are good you are under a lot of stress. Many people carry their tension in their upper shoulders and neck. I would suggest that you should see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

You should see your doctor right away and have your neck xrayed.  I hope he refers you to a spinal specialist.  Could be a pinched nerve, and that's not fun.  It will run down your across your back, shoulders and arms if let go too long.  Sometimes the damage doesn't show up right away.  \n\nIf not, maybe a vertabra is damaged.  Either way, please have it checked.

I get knots on my left side.  It feels as if its under my shoulder blade.  I don't know if it is the same thing, but my massouse decided that I was sleeping wrong.  I slept with one arm under my pillow and it obviously kept my muscles tight up there.  I also lift my toddler everyday which doesn't help,  To help myself, I've just tried to relax my upper back and neck everytime I feel myself holding my shoulders up.  It's working so far.

If your bra gets wet or ruined, grab your dad's sweatshirt so it will be really big and loose and throw that on you so no one can tell you havent got a bra on. Then run to WALMART and buy a couple bras as quick as you can and when you get to the parking lot PUT IT ON!!!!!!!!

Sounds great. However, I know a friend of mine eventually had surgery for breast reductuion (shame), because it was troubling her. I think she had back aches, but I am not sure - also don't really know what size she was.

First, I'm really sorry for what you're going through.  It sounds like you might be in need of an HRT formulation to replace some of the hormones.  Joint/muscle pains, etc. can come about from estrogen depletion, even when it is still produced in small amounts in our adipose tissue.  It may take several different attempts/dosages/formulations to find the right one for you.  Also, calcium is important post-hyst. and if necessary, get tested (DEXA scan) for bone mineral density levels and take Rx meds as needed if it shows there is a problem.  You can also get a second opinion from your gen. practitioner to determine if other diagnostic function tests should be run to r/o other concerns and conditions.  I feel your pain and frustration; hysterectomy is not as easy as the general public seems to think it is and people really need to be disabused of that notion.  If your current docs won't listen - find some that will.  Help is out there.  Hang in there and feel better.

Are u sure it's not broken?  You may need an xray to find out and/or to see if something else is going on.  If it's not something major, then alternate ice packs, with hot whirlpools -- first 20 minutes ice, then 20 minutes hot whirlpool right afterwards.  Try it a few times if you can find the time b4 then.  Keep the leg elevated whenever possible too.  And get rid of all the topical stuff as that's not going to do anything.   You need to get the swelling down as much as possible (ice is the best thing for that) and give it a rest.  Ibuprofen works for swelling too.  As for the Saturday tournament, if you are allowed to, wrap and/or tape the affected area during the event. Good luck!

I am a 36E, which is the same as a DDD and I had back pain before.  Do not get a reduction it is not necessary.  Get the propper fitting for your build.  My pain went away when the straps and back was adjusted to fit comfortably.  We have what women die for and men crave, why would you want to get rid of that?  Oh yeah, and don't listen to the Bonehead Teacher, all the women in my family are large breasted and most of us thin.  My mother is a size 8 and a 38F.  If you are overwight and are comfortable with your size, who cares what other people think.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Girl....you think you have boob problems...mine are 38 DDD, yes triple D....i would recommend losing weight, as your chest and hips are first to lose it, you can also try some upper body exercises to create a slight muscle. Other then that if you catch some dirty old field worker mexican checking out your chest tell him he is too old for you and walk away. Bottom line: if you have a skinny waist and a good sized chest boys are gonna look at you if u want it or not. i have had this problem since the 6th grade, everyone thought i was stuffing my bra, yes it sucks because i feel thats all they see but i have found someone that see's more then my chest. \nJust remember when you feel like crap because of it that someone else out in this world has it worse then you...i know someone who is a G size and has to spend 50$ on one bra. At least you and I are still in the 20 to 30 dollar range! \nAnd at least your chest is bigger then your stomach!

Hi Meredith...Use an ice pack(bag of frozen peas or corn works well) to the shoulder for the first 24 hrs while awake.....and take 600mg of ibuprofen(3 -200mg  each over the counter pills)(if your not allergic to it...and make sure you have food in your stomach)..every 6 hours.After 24 hours you can use heat (as in a heating pad..)....on wednesday after the holiday if your not better make an appointment to see an Orthopedist..(bone specialist)...you may have a rotater cuff injury....which if bad enough would require surgery\nGood Luck!\nPS if you do not have insurance it should be covered by your school's insurance

Oh my god!  Go to the ER!!  Ahh, not really though I am sure someone is going to answer that.  They always do.  \n\nFirst off I agree that this is extremely unlikely to be cardiac related.  I am comforted by the fact that you can replicate the discomfort by movement.  The most likely thing that you did was either a muscle strain or possibly even a sprain where the ligaments stabilize the cartilage and bone joint at about your central chest (roughly at the nipple line vertically).  If its a sprain you should be able to isolate the spot right there.  If its a strain its more likely to be generalized.  Either way  the treatment is the same.  Rest, Ice, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen.  After a day if you are still having the discomfort you can add a warm water soak and gentle stretching to the plan.  It should resolve on its own within the week.\n\n(Oh, and I really buy the getting ready for bed story wink wink)\n\nGood luck.. I hope you're feeling better soon.
