Yesterday afternoon I started with upper back aching.  I expected it to subside.  I didnt get much sleep last night due to the fact that I cannot find a position that brings relief.  I have never had a back injury.  Even today it is pretty uncomfortable and there doesnt seem to be any position that makes it better.  Any suggestions?
Hi, I understand your concern.  Back pain can be due to - - Muscular pain (sprain/ strain to muscles of back bring about pain in back. It will go with some painkillers/ muscle relaxants/ local muscle relaxant ointments.  - Bone pain-trauma/ money weakness (calcium / vitamin deficiency/ trauma/ degenerative changes in ribs, vertebrae, discs.)  - Chest infection causing cough, bronchitis, fever, * You should try with painkiller medicines available on counter after food/ hot pack/ muscle relaxant ointment... If there is no relief within couple of days consult your family doctor. He will examine you / get investigated & offer you specific treatment or refer you to expert for special advise.  Thanks.
