Rheumatoid Disorder: At your age of 22, if you do not have a history of spine trauma or repetitive stress to the area, it sounds like you may have a rheumatolgical disorder.  The typical ones at your age may be scheuermann's disease, ankylosing spondilitis or even diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.

Question 9

i sometimes feel a burning sensation in the middle of back and across bottom of shoulder blades when i lay down. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Varies: There are multiple potential causes, I would not hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis.  Considerations can include a thoracic disc herniation with irritation of a thoracic nerve in the spine, upper gi problems can sometimes cause pain in a recumbent position, subscapular bursitis can cause pain in a similar region.  A detailed exam can go a long way in making the diagnosis.

Question 10

: While it is not feasible to rule out heart as the cause, it is unlikely. Regular exercise may helpful. Start slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of exercise. Drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless.
Wish you good health!
