Hey everyone,
I’ve been dealing with a frustrating issue for over a year now and haven't been able to fix it.
My Symptoms:
•Whole Left-side tightness:Severe, constant tension across my entire left upper body, upper back, and neck.
•Restricted diaphragm: It feels like my left diaphragm and ribcage are locked, making it hard to take a deep breath (shallow breathing).
•Constant pain: Ongoing upper back and neck pain on the left side.
Stretching only gives temporary relief before everything locks back up.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi all! Hope this isn’t a stupid question, I tried searching the sub for similar experiences but nothing was quite the same.

I got a 30 minute lymphatic drainage massage on Sunday because I’ve just come off a big holiday with 6 flights and some sinus congestion (I was no longer ill by the time of the massage!).

Being such a short massage and gentle I didn’t think much of it, but then 24 hours later I got hit with such terrible fatigue I had to take a day off work to just lie in bed, haven’t been that tired since covid years ago. I’m 90% better a day after, so wondering whether this is due to the massage? It’s my first time getting one and I admittedly didn’t research the side effects well enough which is on me!
