So I hurt my back. At 1st thought it was neck, went chiropractor, he tried but couldn't do any adjustments on 2 visits.
Decided to try a physiotherapist that I drive by everyday, her assessment was wrong. 4 sessions of dry needling and $300 later and now the pain is in my shoulder front and back, in my trap, and around to my chest under boob.
Finally went to doctor, described the pain, explained it's been about 2 months. Not even assessment, or look at me, he sends me for ultrasound, xray and arthogram of my right shoulder. Arthogram is where they inject a die into your shoulder cavity then ultrasound looking for "leaks."
2 weeks later I finally get it done, they say torn tendon across my trap from neck to shoulder, Problem is the pain is still in my middle back, and radiating.
not satisfied with diagnosis, and no direction from doctor, so I paid the money and went to a sports physiotherapist.
After an 40 minute assessment he diagnosed a ruptured disc in the T4 of my thoracic spine.
He too did some dry needling, and then introduced me to using a foam roller and showed me a couple exercises.
Well holy shit! I did the exercises at the gym and after 3 days the pain is now manageable and I can tell from the itchy/achy feel it's healing.
So today I bought a quality roller, "The Grid 2.0" and anyways just wanted to share.
If you're not using a roller, you should... it's fucking magic.
