A member asked:
What causes a pressure in the back at middle of the spine it dosent really hurt it just feels like the skin is tight in that area and should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: You may experience a muscle spasm or stiffness. This condition can be alleviated with resting and avoidance strenuous physical activities and heavy lifting. Over-the-counter topical pain ointment can be useful to alleviate the muscle spasm. If the pain is progressively getting worse with pain radiation to the lower extremity, MRI is warranted to further evaluate the cause of pain.
