What Causes Upper Back Pain?
I had left upper back pain, went to a chiropractor for adjustment and immediately upon cervical adjustment pain shot down my left arm into my index finger and thumb. The doctor said it would go away and was normal for this to happen. I had several more adjustments over the next 10 days, and each time there was more arm and hand pain, and the numbness has not gone away. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Could this be related? How long will it take for the pain arm pain and numb fingers to go away?

HI
Well come to HCM
If you are suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis then such manure is harmful because this could cause trauma to delicate cartilages and nerve system too some may cause muscular tear, now just try some pain killer medicines and condition persist so you need to see the orthopedic surgeon, take care.
