A member asked:
Back is tight and hurts slightly especially when breathing in, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back hurts as breath: This most likely muscle strain. Other thinks to consider is early shingles, but would be rare at your age. If this is what you have you will break out in blisters in a few days over this area. Check with your health care team.
