What Causes Increasing, Throbbing Pain In Upper Back?
Hi there - my wife has a growing, throbbing pain in her upper back. She had it last night, and it was getting worse and worse. We had to knock her out with sleeping pills. She woke up in the morning and it was fine, and now it's slowly coming back so I'm researching it online.

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that it might be muscle spasm or cervical spondylitis.
So go for the cervical x- ray.
Meanwhile avoid pillow and take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel.
Do neck and hand stretching exercise.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
