I started BJJ classes about 2 weeks ago, going twice a week. Ever since my last class (on Thursday) I have started to experience a weird pain in the center of my upper back. When I lower my head to my chest, I feel slight pain. When I do jumping jacks, I feel pain. I have lifted weights twice since my last class and have been able to do deadlifts, romanian deads, good mornings, reverse incline crunches, chin ups, military press, dumbell bench press, rows, etc. with little-to-no pain.
I know the first response is "go to a doctor," however I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my back, but with an overall healthy spine (the doctor said everything looks great, and I will likely never need any type of back surgery in my lifetime).
Has anyone experienced a similar type of pain? Does this sound like an injury or just soreness?
