Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Back

Hello, M husband has a pain in his upper back, just to the right side if his spine. It hurts when he bends forward. He not one to go to the doctor more than he has to. But, today he could not bend forward at the waist a all. He left work at 12pm and that is unlike him. He wants to wait it out a little longer, but he has had this pain for a at least a week and a half.

Hi...Can understand your concern..As per your query about pain in upper back while bending forward can be possibly a vertebral disc prolapse or a nerve impinge...I advice you to have an xray and a MRI done to rule out the cause and consult your nearest physician..Physiotherapy will be very much helpful for specifically upper back and also you need to take vitamin B complex for repairing of any nerve damage..I hope the information helps you.....Take care.
I find this answer helpful
