Hello All,
Yesterday I pulled a muscle in the thoracic area of my back on the left side. What is the best way to take care of it. I figured that while lifting a 350lb patient I would have pulled something in my lumbar region, but instead I pulled it in the thoracic region. All help would be much appreciated.

Anybody have an answer to this question, I am still feeling the effects of whatever I did.

well, i'm no doctor or anything, but i'd assume that not lifting any 350lb patients for a while would help you a bit...

LOL Pimple....Greenlee, I assume you work in some type of hospital setting or some type of healthcare agency. You should ask a doctor in that case.

May the lift be with you.
