Injury on spine in middle back
For the past week or so I've had a pretty nasty pain in my middle back. It's bothered by that section of my back bending in any direction too far. It's very bothered by doing lat pulldowns and stretching my arms forward as if you were holding onto a doorknob with both hands and pulling back. Doing pullups was quite nasty as well.
In the past day or so it's gotten considerably more painful. Right now, touching it right on my spine is painful.
The location is maybe two or three inches down my spine from the line between the bottom of my shoulder blades. The pain is sharp and fairly intense with a very dull sensation just in general.
Any idea what this is and how to fix it? I've been icing it pretty regularly for the past day since it's gotten worse. I'd really like to get back to working out.
