Laura, As an adult with CF, my perspective is a little different. I don't have children (my sister has supplied my mom with a nice crop of grandkids, all CF free<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">) so I don't have my own "parent" feelings to draw on...BUT I know...

It sounds like you have a bunch of pulled muscles, left untreated can affect your posture and strength and make it hurt worse. I get massages every month and more often if I have a bad pull. Try doing some simple yoga or streatching to loosen and strengthen your muscles. Also try heat packs...
