This is BS

[The Hammer]

I woke up in so much pain.... Really what I should say is I woke up because I was in excruciating pain.

It feels like I've got to rocks shoved underneath my shoulder blades and along my upper back.

I even took an Ibuprofen, and I try to avoid pain meds.

This is some BS. I just want to go back to bed. :/

Doesn't sound good. Any other symptoms? Is this a known condition, or something new? Skeletal, muscular, or could it be referred from elsewhere, e.g. heart?

I'm sorry! What happened?

I've had back issues since the military. Pretty sure it's musculoskeletal. So it's nothin too serious.

Just muscle knots or pinched nerve. Either way, lying on my left or right side/shoulder (how I normally sleep, is impossible right now.). And lying on my back isn't much better.

I got up and used a foam roller to try and work out some kinks. But I'm still tight and sore.

Will a chiropractor help?

Quite possibly. I've had good luck with them in the past.

Or a really good deep tissue massage.

Get the kitties to do the kneading thing on your back/shoulders!

It's a nightly occurrence for me. I treat it with Voltaren and ZzzQuill.

Should it continue, you may wish to seek medical advice.

I wish. If they were tigers maybe. I need the additional weight pushing down.

Like getting a small lady to walk across my back, ashiatsu style.

Good to know. It's usually not a normal occasion for me. Although I amused to back pain thanks for a few injuries.

This is the first the pain had physically woken me up.

My partner has a trapped nerve and is getting good treatment from an osteopath.

If one of ours did that, you'd be hospitalised

About 20 years ago, a friend had a little brown cat that would do that sometimes if you slept over.

Everyone loved a Slinky massage. The cat should have charged money, though she was particular about who she'd give one to, and you must have got on her good side that day.

Yes.

And I hope you feel better soon.

I think my partner's back problems are not entirely unrelated to certain feline sleeping requirements...

OK, so nothing too sinister: a known known. That's good - as far as it goes. Have you seen a physio about it? I've had back trouble helped quite a bit by appropriate exercises to strengthen various sets of muscles, to keep the spinal column lined up correctly. (In my case it's age, causing the discs to have shrunk, which allows more "play" in individual vertebrae, which can then trap nerves and give you hell.)

My understanding is that Ibuprofen or other NSAIDS can help reduce the inflammation in whatever it is you've twanged, which helps it improve faster. Walking (what our skeletons are designed for) also often helps. But not being able to sleep properly is ghastly.

If possible consult a doctor. Keep well. No reason why it should have happened.

Again, 'Why'?

Who would not like that?

It sounds like he may need a slightly larger kitty:
