I have a cough and my upper back aches a lot, is the aches normal with cough?

Muscle spasms: Most likely your back and shoulder muscles are in spasm from the forceful coughing. If the cough worsens and you have fever or shortness of breath you should see your doctor to make sure the pain is not due to pleurisy or pneumonia.
