severe trap pull..HELP

[Chris J]

I went to chiro today for trap probs. Did a series of tests with electrodes, stretching, massage and so on. He said it appears to be a major muscle pull. I was conemplating getting an M.R.I., but that $800 even with insurance. I dont want to waste that $ if all they are going to tell me is to take it easy and take pain killers. Considering that AND the info you guys have given me about the long duration to heal this type of muscle, I will try the chiro a couple more times and stay out of the gym for another week. Thanks again for the help guys!!! bass..I am 44 so yes age plays a big part. Especially when I stilll try to lift heavy like I did in my 20's.
