Dear pateint, you need proper diagnosis if there is any muscle strain or injury please visit nearest physiotherapist or orthopedic

Hey there According to me as there is a muscle sprain after gym you should give 7 days rest to part mean while taking some anti inflammatory medicine as suggested by orthopaedic doctor. And after 7 days start strengthening exercises.

Based on your description, this seems to be a persistent mid-back paraspinal muscle spasm, likely due to a strain, poor posture during exercise, or overload during gym activity. While IFT and ice compression help reduce acute inflammation and pain, the fact that your pain persists after two weeks suggests that the underlying cause hasn’t been fully addressed.

As the mechanism of injury have a lot impact on diagnosis for physical examination is required, of it is just muscle injury. It will be recorded verey easily if it is a bone or joint problem you may under going x-ray for proper diagnosis but till that you can shift to hot pack now as the pain has been chronic

From your description, it sounds like you initially had a muscle spasm in the mid-back, likely due to a sudden movement or muscle overload during your gym workout. But since the sharp pain is persisting after two weeks, and especially if it is aggravated by lying down or sitting, other possible reasons should be considered, such as: Muscle strain (micro-tear) rather than just spasm. Facet joint irritation in the spine. Thoracic spine (mid-back) joint stiffness or misalignment. Rib joint involvement (costovertebral joint strain). Less commonly, disc-related issues (rare in the mid-back but possible). Go back to your physiotherapist and request a detailed reassessment, not just passive treatments (IFT and ice).

Hey there are other treatment options too to release muscle spasm ,kindly consult

Consult me in private chat you can do it by yourself at home, no need to worry about that pain and spasm. It's just a simple technique to relive pain at home.

Myofascial release by any manual technique and manipulation of corresponding vertebrae may be required

Hello, so we have to strengthen, release, balance some muscles and only IFT will not help you to relieve the pain as it is a temporary solution.

If your pain is just because of spasm then it will go after few days of ice compression and some gentle mobility stretching exercises.

Hi well its common no need to worry Apply hot pack over the pain area or over the mid back, 10-15 min at least and repeat this process at least 3 times a day. Avoid heavy weight lifting and forward bending until the pain resolves. Try to sleep on side lying position rather than on back.

There needs to be stabilisation of the thoracolumbar fascia, sports physios could try taping that area... Avoid extension based exercises for some time, if you have a deep lumbar lordosis

Hi, seems like you lifted heavy weight or your form could be incorrect which let to acute sprain in your mid back. if after one week pain still persists then we need to assess and manual therapy will help to get rid of that trigger pain in your muscles.

Persistent pain may indicate: 1. Incomplete healing of the muscle or surrounding tissues. 2. Underlying musculoskeletal issue e.g., minor ligament or joint irritation 3. Need for further evaluation if pain is severe, worsening, or associated with other symptoms
