What Causes Upper Back Pain When I Take A Deep Breath?
i have been experiencing pain in my upper back the last few days whenever i take a deep breath. I thought maybe i had injured my back, but have had no situations that would have caused an injury. I feels more internal than muscuar.
Now it seems to be even in my lower back. I noticed that as the temperature is colder outside, it hurts more when i breath in the cold air.
it this possibly something to do with my lungs and not my back?
advice?
thanks,
Alex
