A member asked:
Hi. i have a sharp constant pain in the upper right of my back and the area is slightly swollen. any idea of what could possibly cause it?

Call dr: If you're not sure how the upper back became swollen on just one side, and painful, then you need to see your doctor and have it examined fully. This is not normal or common. You want to have an answer, and find out the cause. That'll determine the treatment. If it's from trauma, accident or injury, then it makes more sense.However it still should be examined firsthand.That'll give you peace of mind.
