Donna, do you recall doing anything unusual the past couple days?  It
doesn't take much to pull a muscle with chronic pain diseases (a little turn
here, a little twist there, and bingo!)  I have a real problem spot between
my shoulder blades, then going up my neck to the base of my skull, resulting
in headaches.  Occasionally, I will get a sharp pain between my shoulder
blades, and it resembles someone putting a spear in your back, and have it
coming out the front in an area that is common with trigger/tender points.
Like you, a heating pad works best for me, along with a muscle relaxer and a
pain med.  Hope that's all it is for you, too, but it sure as heck can scare
the heck out of someone, can't it!  Nanny

Very strange!

Have been having this very strange thing happening all day today.
Actually it started during the night, last night, and has continued on
all day today. Every time I breathe in, there is this sharp pain
from in my back from around my shoulder blade area on up to the base of
my neck. Very strange and not quite sure what to make of it.

Any of you ever had something similar to this before? My breathing
itself, for the most part, seems ok. A little tiny bit wheezy, but
nothing compared to usual flare ups, so not sure what the heck this is.
Related to the RA?   Not sure!!!  Oh well, off to get a heating pad to
see if that will help things at all.

Weird!

Hope you all had a most enjoyable day today. It was so incredibly
beautiful here all day and I wish the weather could stay like this all
the time! Low 80's, very very nice breeze, etc. LOVELY!!!

Donna

Hi Donna,
Reminds me of the time I pulled a rib muscle during a coughing fit.
Very uncomfortable and most annoying.  Best to have it checked if it
doesn't ease up soon, just to be safe.  That's the thing with
joints/muscles - one thing usually leads to another  :-p

Take care,
