I am a white male, 25 @ 155 lbs. very sore upper back that will not allow me to fully inhale! and certain positions are almost unbearable! what to do?

See doctor soon: It sounds like it could be muscle spasm in your back or a problem in the rib cage like a fractured rib. If you have had a fall, it would be worth mentioning to your doctor. However, infection of the lung coverings (pleura) causes similar symptoms. Do you have cough or fever? Your doctor will likely get a chest x ray, x-ray of your spine, and maybe spine MRI to sort out the problem.
