A member asked:
What can cause upper back pain for 7 months mainly upon waking and bedtime, i'm worried its an aneurysm i'm only 27 m quite active?

Unlikely: Aneurysm is possible but very unlikely. Most common causes are related to your neck. If mostly after sleeping you may want to check the firmness of your mattress. See your doctor for an xray and evaluation to be sure.

Thoracic pain: Thoracic pain is a nonspecific complaint which could be caused by any number of things, including pathology within the chest (i.e. Heart or lungs), cervical or thoracic spine pathology (i.e. Degenerative disc, herniated disc), soft tissue problems (i.e. Myofasciitis), etc. If you have had pain for 7 months i would certainly recommend evaluation with a physician.
