I've been having a pinching kind of pain in the middle of my back, to the left of my spine. it comes and goes, and doesn't affect my day-to-day life.?

Probably benign: This type of problem is often the result of muscle imbalance (caused by postures or repetitive movements) or strains of thoracic spine or associated ligaments. Analyze your daily activities to see what you might be doing to promote this situation.
