Lumbar pain and sternum pain connection?

Hello,

I've had lower back pain for about two weeks now. It wasn't that serious at first, but I've had it every now and then before.

Bad location, little exercise during the holidays, then I had to drag my 5-year-old a few times a long way.

Since around last Thursday, neck pain has been added to the back pain and I could hardly move at night, whether lying on my back or side.

Then I took an ibuprofen, and the next morning I felt better. Since then, I've been taking ibuprofen several times a day in the morning and before bed, and last night, even turning around was still pretty painful. Sitting is completely unacceptable, and I avoid it anyway. I'm on my feet a lot during the day anyway, but in the evenings, in front of the TV, I have trouble getting up afterwards.

Especially when I sit in a way that doesn't hurt my back, I now have pain in my sternum.

Has anyone ever had something like this?

I'll see if I can get to the orthopedist this week, but it's always a bit of a problem getting an appointment.

Thank you in advance

The misalignment continues to the spine. Through the ribs it is transferred to the front to the breastbone. In the treatment, the whole spine should be improved; the natural curvature of the spine is also important. See exercises for the spine, posture, etc. .

I learned something about physiotherapy / osteopathy and also had a spin trauma and it always interested me.

Would take a warm bath/shower and then judge whether it will be better. If so, it indicates tension.

If it improves, I would recommend thermal plasters and sports/extension exercises/yoga.

If it doesn't get better, it can still be a strong tension, but that'll have to answer an orthopedic.

Tip: No matter what anyone writes here, do not try to solve the "blockades" with any special practices or movements. You're making it worse in doubt.

No matter how good someone knows about it, no one can tell you online for sure what the cause is.

Since I am a physiotherapist with many years of professional experience and can very well consider your descriptions of how you feel and how the body basically behaves, I can tell you that with minimal tensions a hot bath or shower is sufficient. But these are minimal tensions and usually only in situ out of the context. In your FS above, you already describe massive pains that indicate a blockade and, if not all that helps you describe here, I strongly assume that such blockade that only an orthopedic can endblock. And so that you don't keep looking on the net I suggest you go to the acupuncture hour tomorrow, you'll be overmorning (if it's not a prolapse) without pain. You're good.

Thinking the way to orthopedic is the best solution.

"As a tip: No matter what anyone writes here, do not try to solve the "blockades" with any special practices or movements. You're making it worse in doubt." Generous physiotherapists with professional experience – as I – can very well estimate this and suggest exercises for home.

No. If such massage scooters were so dangerous, they wouldn't be sold. *wink*
