What Is Causing The Pain In My Upper Abdomen And The Middle Of My Back?
I did quite a bit of activity, that I am not used to doing, over the weekend and woke up stiff and sore. When I sneeze, laugh, or tense my muscles in any way, I have horrible pain in my upper abdomen and around the middle of my back. Could this be a pulled muscle?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a pulled muscle. I suggest using muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation. I recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
