A member asked:
My upper back has been hurting for a week.when standing or sitting in a supportive chair its a dull pain, but when lying down or sitting in a less supportive chair,the pain increases to an ache& sharp pains. what could cause this,& how can i help it?

You may take acetaminophen for the pain, no more than 4 g in one day, no alcohol. For the long term regular aerobic exercise will help by making your muscles stronger and more flexible. If you have access, physiotherapy would be preferable.
