A member asked:
Pain in middle of back between shoulders.feels like muscle pain.hurts even if i breath.what can be cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: This could be localised muscle spasm or fibrosis that responds to heat and message. A less common cause would be a pneumothorax where one of your lungs has partially collapsed. If the pain persists despite trying local measures, a chest x-ray should be done to rule out a pneumothorax. For local muscle irritation that persists, a cortisone injection by your physician can be helpful.
