I don't think I can be of much help but I hope it gets better hitmandonny! I've always tried to see my chiro when my back is POing me because I know she knows my back and she helps.

It's not guaranteed to help when you're seeing someone for the first time but I think it pays to seek some sort of professional advice early in case it's a recurring problem. The sooner you find good help the less trouble it will give you long term.

Don't be afraid to taper either - you'll hold your fitness better than you think and can probably afford to go 2 weeks without any hard training before a bout and still do well since you've been hammering it so hard up to this point. That's what i did and fitness was not an issue.

Sure do some light moving around when it feels ok, maybe up the visualization and mental preparation and thinking about your fight plan. Studies have shown little difference between the ability of athletes to learn when they spend the same amount of time visualizing a technique compared to actually practicing it so that might help more than you think.

If people are talking anti-inflammatories you might as well goo with some good old fashioned ice as well!

My main point though DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAPER

You won't detrain your fitness as quickly as you seem to think.
