I don't know what happened but yesterday I was just sitting reading a book and my upper back started hurting....hurt to turn my head and to exhale. It was still liveable until this evening. Now moving at all hurts so bad I just want to cry, it hurts to breath, I can't turn my head or move my arms. I can't find the cord to the heating pad and all my kids are awake so I can't leave them to just go lay down. Hubby is on his way home thank God, and I just ordered dinner so I don't have to cook.

Anyway....any clue what this is or what I could do to help? it hurts straight into my shoulders under my shoulderblades and up my neck. I'm 5 weeks pg and have no tylenol in the house...is ibuprophen okay? I can't even reach up to get my old baby books down to see what's acceptable and what's not....

hi after you take pain meds to help with pain us your heating pad for 24 hours then switch 20 minutes cold 20 minutes hot. also hmmm... how to explain. lay down on the floor take a round or oval hard ball or apple or something lay on your back and roll the small apple sized thing where it hurts. do this for say 20 minutes or more at a time does that make sence? if it doesnt let me know.

Hi!
I don't want to be alarmist, but pain in the neck or shoulder, esp when you breathe in may be a sign of a tubal pregnancy....

It definitely could be something else (just a sore spot), but please call your care provider as tubal pregnancies can be serious.

I hope it's nothing!!!!!
