For the last couple days my back has been hurting really bad. It's in between my shoulder blades and doesnt really hurt until night. Like right now. I have tried stretching it but it isnt changing. I cant do anything to make it feel better and its really bugging me! Please Help!!! I will rate all your helpful advice! :D

In the meantime try an ice pack on the affected area for 20 minutes at a time every two hours and pain killers. Don't put the ice pack directly onto your skin though. If it only hurts when you go to bed, (you didn't specify when at night it hurts), it could be your mattress. If it's still hurting in a few days, make an appointment and get it sorted out professionally. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

Lay flat on your back with your hands by your side and have someone stand over you. Count to three and on the third count, blow all of your breath out while the person with you puts firm pressure where it hurts. If it pops, it may feel much better.
