What can be the cause of severe pain mid ways of the right side of your back...hurts to even breath?

Mid back pain: An inflamed nerve root, facet joint, or rib head can cause the pain that you describe. Anti-inflammatory medications and massage are a good first step to relieve the pain. Consider a chiropractor if the pain persists. Other treatment options include muscle relaxers, neuropathic pain medicine, physical therapy, and pain management.
