A member asked:
Part of my thoracic spine hurts when touched and worse when laying down for 1 week. muscles in back hurt too. no injury or fever. possible causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs to be checked: Upper back pain could be due to problems with your back muscles or spinal structures. if it is muscular, it will likely settle down with rest and some Tylenol (acetaminophen) type of pain medication. If it is something more serious, it will likely get worse over the next 2-3 weeks in which case you should get a medical check up . It is unlikely to be anything serious at your age, yet it is hard to predict.
