Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Need Treatment For Back And Body Pain After Lifting Heavy Objects
Moved an office last Wednesday. Lifted multiple heavy objects. I usually sit behind a desk and do very little heavy labor. Woke up Thursday morning with an excruciating pain in my back behind my left shoulder blade. Pain has continued to worsen and now has moved around my rib cage and to my left breast/chest. Feels like I am being pierced thru the chest.
It is due to minor contusions after heavy physical exertion. Its quite common after strenuous activities and will settle with conservative measures. You can apply warm compresses and take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
