I over stretched it why running for a basketball and reaching with the opposite arm at the same time. I get terrible pain in it, all the way up to my lower back. It feels like it is being stretched to far even when I am sitting still. I have been to physical therapy, and stretching makes it worse. Does anyone know the answer?

Answers:

You may have permanently damaged the muscle where it inserts, making it impossible to heal completely. Go see a sports medicine physician and consider an MRI to see what the muscle looks like.

Questions about your own health aren't things you should be asking a group like this. What you need to do is see a physician and get a PROFESSIONAL answer from someone who really knows what he or she is talking about when they answer a question like this. And, if it's been bothering you for two years you need to talk to a doctor SOON! I'd suggest seeing a Neurologist who specializes in problems with the central nervous system because that seems like the cause of your problem.

Sounds like the simple answer is that you somehow injured it in a way that it hasn't healed completely or won't. I'd consult a medical professional to get a better diagnosis. My guess is that you injured the muscle at one of the insertion points.
