A member asked:

My upper right back always feel heavy or aching what.would be the possible cause

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscles: Most of the time muscle aches are due to posture changes where you are leaning forward or repetitive due to lifting. I would use ice or heat 15 minutes on then off and see your doctor for a full check up. Over the counter acetaminophen and Ibuprofen is also helpful. Good luck
