Is Severe Upper Body Pain After A Physical Activity A Concern?
The night before last I lifted my bed so I could wash the cover. Then lifted it again to put the cover back on. I woke up yesterday just fine, but woke up this morning in unbearable pain. I need to be pulled up just to sit up.it hurts completely around my body, chest, back, and under arms. I have taken 2000 mgs of Advil and been in bed all day. It actually hurts to take a deep breath. Should I wait a few days and see how I feel or should I get to an ed for an x ray to see if I tore some tendons

Hi,
In my opinion, no need to urgently go to emergency room. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to over straining is more likely. Do following things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
2. Sit with proper back support.
3. Avoid sudden jerky movements of back and chest.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week, if not improving then get done chest X-ray to rule out internal injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
