surfing gone wrong
Posted: 05-22-08 16:07pm

Well in short, I went surfing for roughly 14 hours, and only came in to shore because I was so fatigued, that I could barely stay on the board.
One week after this, I am getting extreme!! pain in my left shoulder blade when I use the muscle in that area. This muscle is used when laying down(and getting up), lifting any object, or even resting against a table or wall. Hell, I can't even rotate my upper-body to the left or right...

I've been lifting items and using these muscles up until yesterday, with some mild stinging - note worthy, but nothing like it is now. Another thing that might be worth noting - Right after i got home from surfing, I had trouble breathing(or expanding my chest fully, rather), because pain in the same location stopped me from completely inhaling air. And now the pain is back, but MUCH much worse. It is concentrated in the left shoulder blade, upper back, near the spine. When I push on it with my hands, it feels VERY tender, and it is most definitely originating from the muscle(not bone or anything..). It seems to relax a bit(no more than a minute after however) if I massage it.

Does anyone know what could be going on? (Torn muscles.. etc? Cause i havent a clue)
