WTBF happened to me last night?
On Thursday I deadlifted with more reps than I'm used to. This is the second DL session after a long pause from DLs.
The day after, I felt the customary soreness on the traps, the upper back and hamstrings. Nothing out of the ordinary. This is Friday, and I had a Sau Gong Chau dinner with colleagues, so I ate Pacific clams, steamed patin, sea cucumber, giant prawns, and downed 2 beers.
I went to sleep at 2 a.m. only to awake in the middle of the night with extreme and intense pain in my upper back. I tried massaging myself there, but it was sore beyond description. Even a touch caused a grimace. I downed a paracetemol (Panadol) tablet and tried going back to sleep. Impossible. My upper back was like on fire. No position could give me any relief. I tossed around in bed, groaning in pain and swearing at myself for being stupid enough to DL as I did.
At around 5 a.m. I took another Panadol. It did help, but with imperfect success. I still felt the burning pain around my shoulder blades.
After a while, I drifted off into sleep. When I awoke this morning, I felt a general stiffness around my traps and upper back, but no pain. It was like last night never happened.
What happened to me?
sounds like a trigger point, try to find the refered pain guide, if the spot is tight and sores when u press it. massage it or get someone to apply force with elbow
