Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having upper back pain. It happens when I m sitting for a while. Just started having this pain about a week ago. Its located in my upper back above my right shoulder blade. It feels like a sharp stinging sensation. What could be causing this? I have a doctor appointment next week going to have him take a look.
Pain in the upper back is usually the result of poor posture, muscle overuse, or injury. Treatment may include home remedies, such as rest and gentle exercises, or possibly seeing a physical therapist. You can also use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
