[reppedout1]

hello all! i have what i believe is a pinched nerve in my upper back.almost at times it feels like a stabbing hot searing pain.if anyone has had this what did u take to alleviate the pain?.i go to the chiropractor monday and i know what he's gonna say,no lifting and when u go back hogh reps low weight,he sais that to me before and i have no prob with that except i am omn week 4 of a test enth cycle so i have to go balls out.i lmew somethin like this would happen.seems i am prone to back probs.thanks!!

Was there a specific traumatic incident, or did it just start hurting? And where is it located...upper/inner or upper/outer back?

are you using ice? anti inflamatories?

yes both

[Doc.Sust]

what techniqur does your chrio use?

not exactly sure,i believe the normal protocol.he does have me stand back to the wall and has me take a deep breath and then rams me into it,back cracks for like a minute.i then move onto ultrasound.he seems to know what he is doing cause he was the strength coach for a local football team.the pain comes and goes,i have a heavy repetitive lifting job so i am constantly working my upper body,also mid cycle right now and pushi myself hard.i alternate between the heating pad/ice packs to icy hot,appreciate the responses bros!!!
