A member asked:
Mid back pain starts just below shoulder blades and radiates around to the front just below breasts left worse than right what is possible cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upper back pain: This is radicular pain from an irritated nerve root exiting from the thoracic 7/8 region. Inflammation of the rib head as it attaches to the spine is common. Other causes include muscle/tendon strain or a pinched nerve from a herniated disc. Anti-inflammatory medications, massage, and ice packs may relieve the pain. If the symptoms persist, then see your medical doctor.
