My upper back is hurting It started last night. I have been out of a job so I have been sitting on the couch a lot Im not sure if it comes from that but that is what Ive been up to. I don t want to go the the emergency room but I don t know what to do. There isn t a muscle pain but a spine discomfort.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Probable cause pain from incorrect posture. You can try to put on your pain spot something warm or hot for 20-30 minutes, no massaging,find a painless posture, rest and OTC drugs (Paracetamol). If the problem persists, I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor. Hope this helps.
