How To Treat Sharp Stabbing Pain In The Skin Of My Back?
Hi Doctors I hope that you can help me! so I have this pain at my back exactly in the middle and at first I thought it was my spine then I tried to touch/press and pinch the skin on that area and it hurts so much and most of the time it just gives this sharp stabbing pain right in that very area, been experiencing it for a month now.

you need to do an x-ray of your spine to revel any pathological disease as from your history it doesn't look like joint arthritis
meanwhile you need to take rest,stop touching and checking it again and again as it can worsen the condition and spreading.
can apply ice packs (to the extent you can bear 3/4 times a day)
also avoid bending movement as much as possible
