Pulled muscle??
by Katie1217, Jan 21, 2009 06:48AM
Hi there,
I recently joined a gym after taking 2 months off. I was diagnosed 5 mos ago with pleurisy and I am not sure if thats what this pain is. I recall doing weights at the gym using my arms about 2 weeks ago. It is a pain in my back around my shoulder blade (left side). The pain does not increase upon breathing or coughing. My chest xray 5 mos ago was normal. My question is could this be a pulled muscle and are chest xrays reliable for more concerning issues such as tumors?. My blood work was also normal. I am 39 y/o female in good health. It is a tolerable pain during the day. It is very bad when I am asleep. I actually wakes me up. I have a 1 year old boy and only have insurance for him so I am trying to avoid going for more tests. Thanks
