What Causes Pulsating Pain On Right Side Of Spine?

Today Ive noticed a pulsating pain on the right side of my spine right about where the top of my shoulder blades start. It is very sensitive to touch. The pain comes and goes but can happen anytime; while sitting, standing, running, etc. Should I be concerned? My back often hurts but never before like this.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If you are experiencing pain from a long time and it is worsening, then I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor and to discus your concerns. From what you say I think there is a alignment problem of your thoracic column, maybe scoliosis or kyphosis progressing, so you need imaging study of your column as well ( plain radiographs). Treatment options include posture correction, NSAID drugs and physical therapy. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
