Dear respected doctors, pranam, I visited another spa this time a well reputed one. I opted for back massage and told that I have lower back pain. Everything was going good, when the masseuse started massaging my upper back. She gave two hard pushes on the upper back just above the heart. I immediately started having pain on the upper back, both the hands and also the chest. I stopped the massage and immediately went to a doctor. He checked me with the stethoscope and asked me to breath deeply. I also was having pain while breathing in. He gave me pain killers and powergesic gel to apply on the back for three days. He told me to visit him after three days. Today is the second day. Although I did not feel much pain during last night, I am having pain and difficulty in breathing today. My question is what could have gone wrong? Do I complete my medicines and then visit the doctor? Do you think this is some thing serious? My doctor told me that it is a muscle spasm. Can powergesic gel be applied on the chest. I will be very grateful if you could alleviate my fears. Thanking you, sincerely yours, s. Ravindernath.
