Hello doctor,I am 20 and about every two months I throw out my upper back and neck causing pain in my upper back, shoulders, neck, and down my arms. I am a waitress and I am assuming that is what is causing my issues but is there something more I should be doing? Chiropractic work seems to help but I feel like at such a young age I should not be having this happen so often.
Hello. Your description is suggestive of a trigger spot in the upper back and neck. Most likely this is postural and result of your professional requirements. You need to see a good physiotherapist who could help rectify your postural issues. You are already on Fluoxetine and need good NSAID tablets, hot packs or ice and deep myofascial release. For more information consult a spine health specialist online  Take care.
