What Causes Sharp Pain From Upper Back To Rib Cage?

I have a sharp pain in my upper back that travels to my rib cage. I do not have trouble breathing and did not have an injury. I am just recovering from a pulled neck and shoulder on the other side. I am prone to neuralgia in my head but I was wondering if this is that or gas?

I just want to know whether you have heartburn or vomiting.
Pain in upper back to rib cage could be due to gastritis or simple myalgia.
Take Tab Aceclo plus along with Tab Pan 40 twice daily for 5-7 days.
Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water. I hope your symptom will be relieved. If not get a MRI thoracolumbar spine done and get a physician opinion.
