Title: Shoulder/Back Pain?
Post by Conway05 on Jul 21^st, 2013 at 4:48pm

Question for CH'ers - do any of you get shoulder pain during an attack? My husband's shoulder (on the side of the hit) gets very sore and pain radiates down the cord/muscle along the spine. His Neuro told him this has nothing to do with CH and referred him to a specialist. We have not followed up yet, seeing he is still in the throngs of the beast and the pain only occurs with hits - wanting to know if anyone else feels this or is the doctor right?

I would follow up as your doctor has suggested. While the tension from CH hits can be a problem, I've not heard the CHs themselves produced what you describe. Let us know how this turns out. God bless. lance

Watch how he moves during a CH. I know I'm not the only one to have hurt myself with pulled muscles and similar stuff that happened during a CH that I had no idea about until the CH was long gone.
