How Long Does A Pulled Muscle In Between The Shoulder Blades Take To Heal?

Hello, I have a pulled muscle between my shoulder blades. I wanted to know how long that takes to heel. So that you know my history I have a bulging disk in my neck at c3 and spinal stenosis in my lower back. My back is like a brick wall. I had been doing a lot of cleaning, then the end of last week my adult neighbor, jump my teen niece. I tussled with them and pulled them apart. When I reached to the side of me to pick up the sauce pan last night that s when the pulled muscle occurred. I still have to grocery shop, and cook for Christmas and New Years. I just sneezed a moment ago and like to have cried. What s the approximate soonest this passes. Just lost the ride I did have to the grocery store. I ve been icing, took some ibuprofen, took a muscle relaxer, any going to promt care in 2 days( med transport).

Pulled muscle, healing depend upon how much muscle fibres torn, could take a week or even months depending upon extent. Still take rest avoid overexertion, painand muscle relaxant will do the job. One doubt how are you sure that pain is due to pulled muscle , it could be due to prolased disc c3. Cervical nerve irritation can lead to pain in neck. Even then pain killers and Range of motion exercise are the mainstay of treatment.
