Ok guys, before I explain whats going on, I want you to know I currently unemployed from a bankrupt company and lost my health insurance 15 days ago. SO, I cannot afford to go to the doctor unless it is something serious.
The issue started yesterday morning when waking up. It felt like a kink in my upper back/neck from sleeping wrong. I had worked out the night before on Legs and some tricep work which included close grip bench(light weight). I brushed it off as a kink and went through my day as normal. I decided later afternoon that I was just going to go to the gym and work light and see how I felt. Go figure it was my shoulder/trap day. Routine was:
Shoulder press - 4 sets
Cable leaning lat raises - 3 sets
Cable front raises - 3 sets
Cable rear delt flyes - 3 sets
Cable face pulls - 3 sets
Smith machine upright rows - 3 sets
Smith machine shrugs - 3 sets
None of these moves are new to my routine and have never had any issues before. I started out with like 40%1RM just to get a pump going. It felt like the "kink" loosened up, so I proceeded with my workout and went my normal weight. It felt good and I even jumped on the Arc Trainer for some cardio afterwards. Felt ok the rest of the evening before bed when I seemed to tighten up. I took some Tylenol and went to bed. Oh boy, did I not see this coming. I am normally a stomach sleeper with my arms under my pillow. NO WAY that was going to happen as the most comfortable way to lay was flat on my back. I was in and out of sleep. Woke up this morning with what was 2-3x worse than that kink yesterday. I have that upper back tightness that hurts when you move certain ways. Tilting my head can make it hurt. The main "pain" or tightness is actually right above my left shoulder blade. Even rolling my right shoulder forward can make that sore spot hurt. The area is not tender to the touch. As far as movement, I can(under no weight) perform a front raise without any extra pain. I can do a lateral raise up to about to about 85% of parallel before extra pain appears. I can rotate the arm 360 degrees with only having some slight pain around the 12 o clock region.
I am not looking to jump right back into workouts, more of just trying to see if anyone else has had something like this. I know the number one response might be go see a doctor, but that is a last resort right now. I have no issues with doctors but just cannot afford the probable numerous hundred dollar bill that is going to go along with it. Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Want to add that I have recently been having some slight spasms in my chest and some in my left arm.. slight spasms but spasms none the less..
