Maybe: More often, i find a dysfunctional rib causes aching off to one side in the upper back.Ribs get 'knocked out of whack' by coughing, sneezing, minor traumas.Often present as severe achy pain, worse with deep inhalation or exhalation.It's easily treatable by osteopathic manipulation, if it is the cause. A proper history & physical exam, including an osteopathic hands-on exam might find & fix it.
