A member asked:
Bad upper back pain beside the boobs under the thorax on the ribs what could it be ? ( both sides)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle or nerve: A thorough physical is needed to diagnose the cause of your pain. However any pain in that region can be traced down to inflammation or traumatic injury of the soft tissues there (skin, muscle, nerve ) unless the pain is inside the thorax or around the lungs (inflammation of the pleura or lung covering)
