A member asked:
Having sudden severe pain in mid back which also extends to neck. how long to wait before seeing doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common complaint: Poor posture leads to a muscle strain and back/neck pain. Most patients do not have a serious spinal problem. However if your pain accompanied by neurological deficiency (numbness, weakness) call a doctor. Moist heat, stretch exercises NSAID (otc) aleve (naproxen) and good mattress are very helpful. If concerned see pcp for further investigation.
