What Causes Persistent Pain In The Mid - Back?

I have been dealing with pain in the middle of my back for some time, it s like if I have eaten or drank anything cold quickly it hurts like what other people call brain-freeze but it lands in vthat area of my back every time. It gets sore if I don t get up early, I guess, if I oversleep....but, lately it woke me up with severe pain, It wrapped all the way around my ribcage and my back, I thought I might be having a heart attack ....I felt like if I vomited or had a bowel movement it might help but, I could do neither. What could this possibly be? Heart? Gas? I had a clinical massage therapist say that area has scoliosis......any guesses or answers? Thank you so much

Hello,

The causes for pain in mid back are:

1. Injury
2. Blunt trauma
3. Sprain or strain
4. Lumbar Spondylosis
5. Spine related problems
6. Improper posture

You can take tablet Aceclofenac. Apply diclofenac gel or cream. Also, apply ice locally and do x- ray and MRI of back.

Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
