A member asked:
Im stressed and i ofter feel kind of a small vibration or cramp in my upper back and its always on the same area. can stress be the cause of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress or anxiety: Stress or anxiety can cause this as can poor posture if you have a desk job or any job that would overuse those particular muscles. Try massage, pt, heat, vibrator, and if none of these work see your doctor for a brief trial of a muscle relaxant and to rule out anxiety as the cause. Best wishes.
