I am wondering if shaking my spine up did this. I am in pain and taking Mersyndol & Voltaren as needed. I just am wondering if this is a logical cause?

Thank you,

It is common to have generalized myalgias for a couple weeks after MVA. Your body endures forces that are not naturally occuring any where else. MRI will help rule out compressive radiculopathy for various reasons and should be done when experiencing extremity pain.
