Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had been lifting very heavy for the last 2 weeks. I woke up 3 days ago and was drying my hair. I felt very tight in the upper part of the back and it felt like my Trapezes tore. I now have extreme pain ranging from the lower part of the neck to the trap around the shoulder blade. Is it possible that it tore.
As per the history there are a few possibilities for the pain. Either it could be trapezitis or nerve impingement. Since you been doing weights this is the common issue which one can have called as the DOMS, Delayed onset muscle soreness which occurs post exercise.
Having a thorough clinical examination can help understand if it is only DOMS or nerve impingement.
I will advice to stop the weights for time being and see if the pain levels comes down. In approx 3-5 days of time the inflammation comes down and you can restart the exercises.
Regards. Jay Indravadan Patel
