Whenever i sleep for a while i have pain in my mid spine when i wake up. i think there is also a little swelling. it gets better when i stay upright?

Hard to say: There are conditions of the spine such as degenerative disc disease that sometimes cause pain with immobility, such as when a patient is sleeping at night. There are also non spine problems that can cause back pain. For example, patients with reflux disease can have symptoms when they lay flat that is relieved by being up, thank you for the question.
