hello, im new here and ive searched around the web and decieded this is the best site ive seen for fitness forums. new here so forgive if i ask stupid questions. but my neck and back are killing me ! i've been working out for about 8 months faithfully now, 3 times a week. about 2 months ago, im hanging drywall on my new garage ceiling and it was quite the job, very heavy holding it up above my head. and yes stupid me rested a sheet or two on my head while steading myself or getting the screws ready. anyway sence then my back, neck and shoulders are stiff and very sore. i went to a massage therapist 2 weeks ago. it helped, but just for a day. the pain isnt everyday...i can still play hacky sac and throw the frisbee now and then. but when it hurts, it really hurts ! about 1 a week or so its hard to get out of bed. im sorry this is so long. i just dont know where to turn.

hi, the same happened to me last year, I had massage sessions every week for 3 months and the pain dissapeared. One session won-t make the trick

good luck
 
Get a back friendly bag (I use sfbags.com)

I had this happen to me and nothing worked. I finally realized it was being caused by the bag i was carrying. A friend told me about a small company called WaterField Designs based out in San Francisco. They have a "Suspension Shoulder Strap" that saved my back. It has "give" built into it. I also bought their Cozmo bag which has the strap attached off-center to the front and back of the bag. For some reason this makes an enormous difference.

If you want to check it out, here's a link: (I have what they call the "Cozmo Mambo Combo" because I often have to carry my laptop around. The quality is truly amazing as well.)

and a link to their home page:

Good luck with your back!
