<s>[INST] I've been suffering with shooting pains up my spine for a few years now, but recently the pain has started to feel trapped between my shoulder blades but on my spine. I normally have to crack my back to get rid of the horrible pain it causes but sometimes it doesn't go and I am stuck with this pain for hours on end. there are certain things that trigger it off. And I was wondering if you have any idea what it could be? [/INST] Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.There appears to be a spinal degeneration problem. You need to get a spinal MRI done and identify the exact cause of such a pain. As of now regular physiotherapy should be good.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, or need any further details about the same query you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddyWish you good health,Kind regardsDr. Srikanth Reddy M.D. </s>
