What did it feel like? I'm having a shooting pain in my back when I move certain ways and wondering if that's what is wrong...

yes! a couple tgivings ago, i woke up on black friday with a horrible pain in my low back and could barely walk after getting out of bed. went to chiropractor later that day, apparently was a pinched nerve/bruised lumbar vertebrae had an adjustment and some electric treatment... and had some relief... took a few days before i felt 100%~
@mediagirl: hope you feel better soon mama!

There are different nerves that can become pinched or inflamed. A chiropractor can usually take care of most of them. I typically have an electric-type pain in the left side of my back that shoots downward. My chiro says it is the nerve that runs through my uterus so there may be a correlation with that. (The day I'm pretty sure the egg implanted I was having crazy crazy pain.)
I've also had a much worse case of a pinched nerve that ran down my right side. It originated in my back and shot down the leg and into the last two toes. Chiro and PT didn't help so I was given pain killers until it "worked itself out," which took close to a year.
If you suspect a pinched nerve I'd start at the chiropractor and they might refer you to a neurologist if the problem persists. I hope you feel better soon!!!

I usually get one right in my shoulder blade. It's a sharp pain when I move a certain way. I usually put a heat patch on it and take Advil and the pain usually goes away in a couple days.

Yes, it hurts so bad!! I haven't had it in a long time (over a year, *knock on wood*), but when I used to get them in that area between my neck and shoulder, I literally would not be able to turn my head. It felt really tight and stretched, I think.

It's physically hard to turn your head. A TENS units helps me thr most. I don't get them often but they hurt so bad

Sure have! My arm was going numb and I was getting tingly sensations (the pinched nerve was in my neck). I went to the chiropractor and honestly, felt better than ever after being adjusted a few times. Sometimes I would skip out of his office, I felt so good.

Yep. A physio sorted mine out after a few visits. They respond very well to treatment.
