A member asked:
Pulled back muscle 4 days ago, improving but now i have sharp pinch-like pain in 1 shoulder. could it just be because i was compensating for back?

Maybe: How did you pull your back muscle, and what part of your shoulder hurts?

Possibly: If it is compensatory, it should improve as the back improves. If it does not you may need to be evaluated.
