A member asked:

I over done it in the gym. i stretched to reach something at work and got sudden, what feels like, muscle spams around my chest and back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strain: Strained muscles take a week or so of avoiding further stress on the strained area. Taking an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week may help by reducing associated inflammation that often accompanies acute strain of muscles and is often the cause of spreading of discomfort.
