A member asked:

Can a pulled muscle take weeks to heal? hurt top upper back between shoulder and spine 16 days ago stretching. was very painful to move head & arm. now not as painful, but feels tight/stiff when move head. should i be concerned of something serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may have sustained some microtears of ribcage muscles which take longer to heal than a simple strain. See your physician or an orthopedic specialist if continued discomfort isn't gradually improving
