I choked on food last week. Firstly I hit my back against the wall, hard several times before a friend gave me the Heimlich and managed to dislodge the food. For several minutes after it was still very hard to breath. In the days following I had sore neck muscles which I imagine were from the strenuous attempts to breath etc. But I also had a sharp pain on the left side of my back, about mid way (bra strap level). This pain has not gone away and hurts while still, while moving and if I take a deep breath in. Would it be muscular?
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that it can be because of two reasons. First it can be due to Heimlich procedure where pulling you and then sudden jerking can cause your muscles spasm in back. Other cause can be torn in esophagus that causes radiating pain in back. I would suggest you to take rest, apply hot water fomentation and voting gel local application.  If this pain increases, or you feel that there is increase problem in swallowing of food then I would recommend you to show it to gusto surgeon.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
