A member asked:

Hi, im a 28 year old femaleand i work out 4 days a week. lately my back has been very achy and i have been getting sharp shooting pains in the middle to upper part of my back on the right side. what could this be? can it be heart related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not heart: Those are not heart symptoms. Not even maybe. A lumbo-sacral muscle strain or intervertebral disk strain or rupture are the most likely causes. Less likely issues are a kidney stone or pinched nerve (in your thoracic spine). Give it some time, heat, analgesics, rest and most likely, you'll get better on your own.
