A member asked:

My left upper back will make a pop sound if i stand up straight and it hurts been like this for 8 months can't stand up straight because it feels like someone's pushing on my back any ideas what it is and how to fix it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is not enough information to tell you what it is nor how to fix it so you could go for comprehensive evaluation to evaluate if there is skeletal problems. However I would suggest conscious posturing and muscle massage to reduce tension in your muscles. I wonder why you have to stand up straight if you are correctly posturing.
