What Could Be The Cause Of Upper Back Pain And Soreness?
Hi I landed heavily on my back a couple weeks ago and winded myself. But now i wake up from sleep with upper back pain just left and right of my spine. And can feel it in my chest. Also its sore when i sneeze? What could be the problem? The pain goes away when i stand or sit upright.

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that it might be due to muscle spasm which trapped the nerve and causing the pain.
Take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel and use hot water bag at bedtime.
If not better in 4-5 days then go for X-ray of upper back.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
