What Causes Pain In Neck And Back?
I have a squeezing sensation in my right upper arm and also some neck stiffness. The pain in my arm comes and goes but the neck pain is there more often than not. I also have pain in the lower middle of my back. I am 60 years old and my back went out last summer. I went to a psysio last summer but it has never been the same since.

Hi,
From history it seems that at this age due to degenerative changes in your spines might be giving pinched nerve pressure symptoms.
This can also contributed by having osteoporosis at this age.
Go for x-ray cervical and lower spines for osteo-artheritis.
Take calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Go for light walking exercises daily.
Continue with physiotherapy as well.
Ok and take care.
