Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I'm a 25 year old male, in good shape apart from a niggling pain in my upper back (usually the right hand side).
It started about a year ago and the pain became so intense in my upper back and neck that I had to go home from work and just sleep. I went to a physio and that helped a bit then I went to a chiropractor prostitute-alined my back and gave me acupuncture.
This helped immensely and the pain was nothing like it was before, however since then there is still a niggling pain in my upper right back. I have been back to the same chirpractor and he says that it's not normal and that as soon as he puts it back in I should be fine unless i'm sitting badly or something.....I do sit at a computer all day at work and at the end of the day I have to collect sun beds in (but then i've been lifting them for 12 years)- I play bass guitar in a band so maybe the weight of the guitar is pulling on me? I have swapped to a lighter guitar.
I do stretches every day and I go to the gym twice as week which I find helps a lot.
I've been seeing another chiropractor who pops my back into place every week or so, usually the t7 or t8 as well as c3 but i'd really like to draw a line under this as it seems silly to be paying someone every week to crack me back into place when i'm only 25!
Thanks for reading and I hope someone has some advice.
