A member asked:
If i stand up straight and take a deep breath im fine. if i slouch and take a deep breath, or even just bend over, my upper middle back hurts. is this muscle? or something worse?

Yes, probably a musculoskeletal pain and it should be alleviated after taking 2 tablets of advil or tylenol so you should give it a try. If it is, symptom should be self limited and resolved after a couple days. If symptom persists, gets worse or fever occurs, then you should see your doctor. Good luck.
