Q: nagging pain in upper back, below the neck, also pain in right hand triceps. it started bec of pulled muscle in back while doing back exercise.

Back&amp;hand Pain: Pain that radiates from upper back to hand indicates a need to see your doctor. You mention pulling a muscle while exercising. That MAY be the case or it may be from a pinched nerve. Your doc will tell you and help you. Catch it now so it does not become chronic. Peace and good health.
