Why am I having it and how do I fix it?
Basically what happens is this ... for the last week or so, I've been waking up every morning with shooting pains in my upper back: right beneath my neck and in between my shoulder blades. My neck is stiff to varying degrees: some days it's ok and other days it hurts to turn/tilt it back. It's not chronic but every now and often I'll get a sharp shooting pain down my upper back that makes me wince. Pretty localized, haven't noticed it spread anywhere else. Exercise is fine but typically all I do is walk/use the elliptical.
I'm at a stage right now where I can't not read/type/use a computer (final papers are due plus this is my life now for the foreseeable future). I've tried stretches and sleeping with a pillow/without a pillow/ blah blah, no effect. I'm gonna try sleeping on the floor next to see if it helps, I guess. Ughhhh.
