What Does Severe Backache Indicate?
I have back pain in my thoracic area. I would rate it at about a 5 most of the time but I often wake up during the night with more severe. When I stand to get out of bed it is worse for about 5-10 minutes. Does not affect breathing. It isn't related to indigestion. I'm female, 75 years old.
