Hello.
Can someone have pain, good change muscle pain from pulling someone, though then it continues and is really bad when not as much if any of that continues due to stressful situations in one's life? |

Hello Aspie,
Can you explain a little more please? I'm not fully understanding about the pain. Where are you getting the muscle pain? I used to be a nurse and had to lift and move patients a lot. I used to get pain from doing that all the time. Are you needing to lift and move someone in your care? Also, if I'm really stressed my muscles seem to feel tighter anyway but I have some anxiety issues, so I put it down to that. |

It's my mother. She has had shoulder blade pain and at times in her left arm and back.
It went away yesterday and came back today as bad as it was during the few days before. She had been lifting my father, with my help for the last several weeks. I'm thinking that a related issue would be stress from my siblings being adamant about something. My father hasn't needed as much and she hasn't been lifting him, though she believes he does just because he has been the last several weeks. It appears exercises he should be doing more of are helping. She went to an urgent care today, they said they couldn't do anything with PA's there. They wouldn't be able to right prescriptions. They told her to go to the ER. The ER also only had a PA as well, that could and did write prescriptions. She was prescribed and Cyclobenzaprine, Hydrocodone, Prednisone. She was told to take the Prednisone when the first two are finished. The diagnoses is strained muscles with osteoporosis being a related issue. Last edited by Aspie; 10-15-2014 at 08:20 PM. |

I'm sorry to hear that your mother has been in so much pain.
The Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer. Hopefully she finds some relief with that. Best thing would be for her not to be lifting your father anymore and to get some rest. She might find that some physical therapy would be helpful as well if that's possible. I hope she's feeling better fast. |

A physical therapist is coming to our home for my father. She mentioned the pain she was having and he said he can do some physical therapy for her if she wants.
It seems like it's an odd connection, while it may be logical as a stressor caused by what ever to cause body pain. |

Aspie, if your mother is under an unusually high degree of stress with family members and trying to help your father, I would think it possible that her muscles are probably all tense, and when they're tense like that muscles are more prone to injury.
You mentioned shoulder blade pain and left arm pain. Does your mother have any heart ailments? |

Well there is the proof.
They shouldn't be adamant to do something that isn't necessary. Don't want to get into that in the Chronic Pain forum. |

What does anyone think of this?
Shoulder blade and arm pain that started on Saturday, very slight Tuesday and returned on Wednesday. It started on the right side earlier, then spread to the left before it waned and then came back on the left side. There were x-rays taken on Thursday. Results on Monday or Tuesday. |

My mother apparently strained her neck. I understand that could be stress related, opposed to lifting something heavy.

I am going to give you a bit of information that is often overlooked by doctors.
A certain group of antibiotics given for urinary tract, kidney and upper respiratory, and skin infections can damage tendons. These drugs are fluoroquinolones, (Cipro, Avelox and Levaquin). They distrupt DNA in cells and have specific damage potential for tendons. Often the tendons become damaged a year or more after the use of these drugs for simple reasons. They are still commonly given by doctors when other drugs could suffice. People will rupture or strain tendons because of these drugs so doing any severe lifting or sports extensions of the limbs, can damage the already damaged tendons. Here is the FDA warning about this: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsro.../ucm116919.htm Often much time passes from the use of these drugs for treatment of common infections, and the development of the tendon damage. Often the doctors just see an physical strain as the culprit, when in fact the problem could have been brewing for a long time after treatments with these drugs. People who have used these drugs should be very careful therefore and NOT push themselves physically to do things that might further rip or strain the tendons further.
