I get a sharp pain deep in the back of my left shoulder/back every day after carrying my backpack to and from work, the pain often persists for a few hours after putting the bag down, this has been happening for about a month now.

Backpack pain: There are many pain issues related to lifestyle and one is backpack pain. Please consider a different type of pack, perhaps one w/a shoulder strap that can be alternated so there is not stress in one area only. Wider straps or different brand may help. Can you leave some things at work or have duplicate objects at home and work? Please see doc to make sure all is well. Peace and good health.
