Torn Rhomboid Muscle

[Smeagol]

So, I went to the doctors on Tuesday, and he said that I had torn some muscle fibers in my rhomboid muscle. He put me on a muscle relaxer for 5 days... 2 more left. I haven't noticed any changes yet, the meds were supposed to knock me out at night and to help it heal. It hurts worse than ever and I can't sleep. He said that if it still hurt to come back in 5 days, so I was wondering if anyone had ever had this problem and what the next step would be.

While I haven't torn my rhomboid, I have way too much experience with pulled muscles and can tell you that if it hurts more that's because the muscle fibers are rebuilding so it would naturally be more sensitive. I know it's an awkward place but try ice to numb it, or just a painkiller. This is probably your body healing itself.
*Disclaimer*: I am not a doctor, so take what i just said with a grain of salt.

Thanks... I can't believe I hurt myself! I am athletic, though clumsy (probably how I hurt myself), and I was diving into the pool (seriously, I do this a lot) and I twisted my arms badly and landed badly. Then, I thought I was fine and went to cross country ski practice. That's probably what happened...

Hey I couldn't help but notice:
your "location" is middle earth
mine is mordor
SOULMATES! :P
also, that sucks that you pulled your muscle, diving from a height always goes badly for me too.
