for over 2 months now i have had pain in my back, next to my shoulder blade. its on the left, inside, towards my spine. its a sore/tender and very severe pain. its only painful when i move a certain way, upright and rotate my shoulder. i’ve been to the doc several times, and physical therapy. no change, its not worse but also not better. the next step would be an MRI, i guess. the pain can radiate to my neck, and underarm also, usually after i work (i do heavy lifting). some people have said it is a strained muscle, but wouldn’t that be better by now? others have said it could be a torn muscle, or even a pinched nerve. anyone ever had and experience like this?

Ok, so back at the start of April I sprained my ankle during track practice (I lost my footing after landing a hurdle and my ankle rolled over itself…in case that helps) so I was put on crutches and had my ankle wrapped in an Ace Bandage.
Well the first night I slept with my sprain, I had my knee lying straight (not bent in any way) and the next day I was in massive pain so bad that I couldn’t bend it if I wanted to.
I went to the trainer’s for physical therapy every day so she told me some tips on sleeping better, and it didn’t hurt after that.
So about 3 weeks later I was walking on my ankle (which is good, it healed properly!) and soon after I started the recovery towards running again.
Things were going great until my knee “popped” (I guess, for lack of a better term) and I was on the ground in pain. The trainer diagnosed it later as too much stress on my IT Band from the crutches and such, and so she had me relaxing it with heat and stretching before I ran.
When school got out things were going good, no more knee pain, but just yesterday it popped again while I was running around with some friends, and I wanted to cry from so much pain.
I apologize for the long background story, but i’m wondering if anybody on here could possibly tell me why this is reoccurring (like…did sleeping weird on it the first night screw it up)? Or what I could do to get rid of it? Like….should I see a doctor and get x-rays or anything?
Thanks! Once again, sorry for this being insanely long!!
Next year I’ll be transferring to a 4 year college for Pre-Physical Therapy. Their website states that you can choose any major you’d like and they list a few that most students go with. But I want to eventually get into therapuetic horseback riding and see if I can incorporate that with my Physical Therapy training. As long as I have the core required classes, I should be able to take some Animal Science classes too, right? Or is that too far off the physical therapy track?

i recently sprained my ankle about 4 months ago i have been going to physical therapy for 3 and i have just stopped going and out of no where teh back of my leg the part between my knee and ankel really started hurting, almost like a stabbing pain any ideas wat this is. help =/ thnks
I don’t have insurance, so i was referred by my doctor to come to his clinic instead of scrapping together my pennies. I waited a month to get in and waited three hours int he waiting room, then the nurse, not a practitioner, came in, looked at my knee and declared that physical therapy would help my pain level . I have a torn meniscus and a tracking issue with my knee cap since Oct. I have had a ton of pain, with no pain meds or x-rays. I did get a shot about four weeks ago and paid cash for the whole amount.
Do you think i should call someone? or be happy that I at least got therapy ( free for me)? Or call his other office, the one i saw him at and see what they say? I just don’t know what to do. i am broken hearted over the whole thing. It was a let down. He told me if the shot didn’t work, he’d get me in the clinic and he’d help me. I just didn’t realize that therapy was that help.
