Hello, sorry to hear about your back pain. I had upper back pain that ended up radiating down my arm and back and forth. I thought everyone would think I had gone crazy stating that the pain traveled. Also I had burning sensations and tingling. Turned out to be a pinched nerve in my neck C6&C7. When this happens there are tiny nerves that go down your back and down your arms. depending on which nerver produces the different locations of pain.
Especially a Burning/ cold/ pain going down UNDER my arms. Besides the obvious lower part of my back My neck especially a spot on the left of my neck that hurts/ has a strong ***** and a place in the middle/lower part of my back that zaps me with pain if I lean my torso out or in and at times it's hard to breathe.
My hands have spazzed out on me, it starts with my thumb and my whole hand gets numbish & tingly and my hand jerks in like I've stuck my finger in a light socket.

I have been having upper back, neck and shoulder pain for about 3 months now. I have been seeing a chiropractor now for about 2 months twice a week. It doesn't seem to be getting much better but it is at the point where now I can pop my upper back and shoulders all of the time. In the beginning, it would hardly move or be loosened up. Do you think it is worth to continue to see this doctor or should I try someone else?
I have been dealing with mid to upper back pain for over 8 months. I have been seeing a D.O and after months of maniuplation with really no relief we finally we able to get an mri. The MRI didn't really show anything significant except a slight bluging disc in I think my T-4. I was on pain meds hydrocodone 500/5 1 a day and valium 10mg-30mgs. I am not taking the hydro anymore and am tapering off of the valium, now at 10mg,
My question is why am I in pain? The pain migrates some.
Hello~
It sounds like you have some pinched vertebrae in your upper back and neck region. I would highly recommend seeing a chiropractor. He/she will take some x-rays and be able to tell what areas are needing attention. After a few treatments, you should start feeling better.
Hope you feel better soon.
That you feel the pain when you move your neck but have no pain with breathing is most consistent with a muscular cause. This type of pain would almost never accompany bronchitis or any other disease within the lungs themselves, including pneumonia.
If a muscular pain, it is probably related to an awkward sleeping position and should subside spontaneously, quickly.
Hey girl I have a slipped disk in my upper back by my neck and I take Tylenol extra strength, two pills. It's worked for me so far! Unfortunately there's not much we can take during pregnancy :( talk to your doc though I know there's some meds you are allowed to take for that if Tylenol isn't strong enough!
Does anyone know what a anterior compression is or what it means that L5 is a transitional vertebral body ? I have told my doctors that most of this upper back pain started when I was hanging drywall overhead and I was balancing it on my head. I felt an enormous pain and I have hurt since. Even though I told them this, no one has ordered X-ray or MRI of cervical region. Should this be done ? Pain is debilitating today. Has made me sick to my stomach three times.
