Hi,

Since last Sunday I have had a point in my back that is really really sore. Its about halfway up my back, around shoulder blade area and on the right side of my spine. It hurts so much!! I just feel like crying about it today.

I have tried a few things to help relieve the pain - massages etc. The only time I get relief from it is when I am alseep. It hurt pretty much all the time - sitting, standing, laying, bending over, lifting stuff. Pretty much all the time!! And it is stopping me from doing what I want to do this weekend - organising the nursery!! I just cant take it anymore and since I am home alone, I dont have DP to get stuff from the bottom shelf for me and I just really want to organise my nursery.

Has anyone got anything that I can try? I know that a heat pack is going to be recommended but I dont have one on hand - can I make a heat pack out of something at home?! What about a bath, would that be OK? I dont normally have baths, what kind of bath lotion stuff can I use? Also, if I wanted to get a massage oil, what can I get? I have just found some baby massage oil among all my baby stuff, would I use that?!

Any help would be great cause it is reallllllllllllllllllly sore!
