    Tight muscles in your back can press onto the nerves leaving the spine that go to the arms and legs that would send pains into those areas. To get rid of those pains you have to free up your back muscles to release any pressure off the nerves and here's how to free them up:

    Back:

    (do while sitting on a chair)

    Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

    If you have tight neck muscles they can affect fevers you have. A fever usually causes one to tense up which tightens those muscles up which makes the fever even worse. Freeing up your neck muscles can help in bringing it back down and here's how to free them up:

    Neck:

    Place your hands behind your head so your fingers meet in the middle of your neck. Press into the neck with a moderate pressure and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your head as far as you can, then remove the pressure from the muscles but continue holding your head down for another 30 seconds.

    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

    i don't really know if u can tell the difference or not but what i think u should do is that u should keep hope and never go near or touch a dead deer mouse and never let ur puppies near them either. keep hope that its nothing severe.
