What Causes Sudden Muscle Tightness In Mid-back?

I have a friend female age 40 who woke up fine but when she got ready to go to work she told me she felt something like a tight muscle in her back on the right side and down the middle of her back. She said she can hardly breath because it hurts so bad. Now she is telling me she can hardly move and it is making her sick to her stomach.

Welcome at HCM....
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns..
She needs to be examined by the Orthopedic surgeon for proper clinical examination. She should take rest. There is need to use muscle relaxants like TIZANIDINE along with painkillers.
Meet orthopedic surgeon.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
