Suggest Remedies For A Pulled Muscle In The Upper Right Side
I reached to right for something in my car, and got a sudden terrible pain/stitch/cramping on the upper right side, and I could feel it pull almost back to my spine. It took over an hour to get it calmed down (heat, rest). This happened a couple weeks ago, and I all did was reach my right arm up over my head. It took two days of Flexerol to make it go away. Is this just a muscle pull, or could it be a bulging disc?

Hi,
It is likely related to the muscles in the area especially if it is worse with certain movements.
If it was related to a disc in the spine then there would be a pain in the back and also issues where the nerve supplies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
