Rhomboid, Schmomboid
What is a rhomboid? Nope, its not that shape from Geometry class...that's a rhombus. No, it's not something in outer space...those are asteroids.
It's a muscle in your back, that helps work your shoulder blade. That SOB can cause lots of pain...I know!! After several days of back pain, I started having pain and numbness down my left arm...so I figured I better hit the doctor. I went to a Doc in a Box, as I like to say, on Sunday. After a quick examination, she said I have strained my rhomboid and its spasming which is causing the left arm issues. Good grief!
So, I got a shot in my butt for the inflammation and some 800mg ibuprofen to take 3 times a day. I'd say the shot kicked in around Monday and I started feeling pretty good. But, it must have worn off cause last night the pain was back and I have discomfort in my left arm as I sit here and type now.
I've been sitting out of the gym so I don't further injury myself. I did go to yoga today in hopes that the stretching would help. It did feel good! Unfortunately, I still have discomfort. So, here's hoping my rhomboid gets well soon :)
