What Causes Severe Pain From The Lower Back To The Shoulder?
I ve had severe pain for the last hour which has mildly subsided after getting out of the car and standing. It starts at my lower right back and side rib area and radiates through my shoulder and collarbone area. It s been real hard to breathe while sitting. now that I ve stood it s less severe.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From the history , it looks like severe muscle spasm due to sitting for long hours. If it is reducing then no need to worry. If it remains same then better to consult a doctor and get scans or treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
