Not sure if this is the right forum for my question but others seem to be asking similar. I returned Sunday evening from a 7 d dive trip completing 16 tanks, using a Suunto Zoop computer. I stayed within the no deco limits except on 1 dive midweek when I when I needed a brief deco stop, which I completed. My maximum depth was 85 ft. on the last dive, but ascended gradually and included a safety stop. That night (about 8 - 10 hours later) I awoke with pain in the right back/shoulder area. Flew home the next day, thinking it was probably muscle strain, but pain increased slightly and discomfort included burning/ sore sensation on my skin in the same general area.
My last dive was on Saturday afternoon, flew out early Sunday morning (18 hours later) and wondering now if this could be DCS and if so should I be treating it any differently than I would a muscle strain or pull (ie, pain relievers like Advil & Tylenol). DAN suggested I consider visiting a nearby hospital with chamber doctor, but I'm wondering whether it's worth the trouble and I should just wait it out.
