Why the top middle back were we have the two bones in that middle hurts alot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well your back has : Many bones. The cervical spine has 7 bones and the thoracic spine has 12 and then you have 5 and rarely 6 lumbar vertebrae. Where you describe is probably upper lumbar lower thoracic junction but really hard to tell. If you have persistent pain it could be a fracture, disc herniation or just inflammation or arthritis. But other causes of focal back pain include cancer or ligamentous tear.
