A member asked:
I pulled a muscle in my upper back i think and it keeps spasming. would a massage be good for this or will it exacerbate the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ok to try: Gentle massage along with mild anti inflammatory is fine in short term. Can also try alternate heat and icing. If doesn't improve over 5-7 days you get formal exam.
