What Causes Stabbing Pain In Upper Back?
my father is 43 years old, he is experiencing back pains, more upper, and it feels like a something sharp stabbing him when he moves. When he raised his left arm, he felt excruciating pain. I thought of sciatica, but nothing is in pain with his thighs or leg areas. What do you think?
