A member asked:
Middle back pain/stiffness worst in morning. thoracic x ray mild degenerative end plate changes. no acute injury. is this abnormal for 50 year old?

No PT may help: No it’s not unusual but I would try Physical Therapy or home exercise program. Furthermore please take notice of your posture at work , leaning over with your neck and thorax flex can result in pain. Adjust it so your not leaning over so much
