oh no im soooo sorry :(  You def need a massage therapist!  I wish I could work on you to help relieve you of this pain.  Try soaking in Epsom salt baths (about one cup).  This is really good for your muscles and joints.  Also, try getting a tennis ball (or something similar in size and shape) place it between your back and the wall.  Roll around on the ball to try and break up those knots.  You can stop on areas that feel sensitive and hold pressure on them.  Sometimes il even use the corner of a wall!  It seems to get right into the spot along the shoulder blade :) Drink a lot of water to help your body flush toxins out.  I really hope this helps <3

i recommend yoga. even doing a simple sun salutation twice a day will help! my yoga instructor began practicing because she threw her back out. good luck!

Thank you! I have started some medicines but I'm determined to get back to hooping, yoga sounds like a great idea.
