A member asked:
I am hurting in the upper middle of my back. is it a possibility something may be wrong or is that area just be muscle? x ray or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends.: The best way to determine if an x-ray is indicated is by seeing a medical provider who will obtain a medical history and will physically examine you. The reason of the pain may be readily apparent or may require further diagnostic studies. Good luck.
