<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have pain occasionally in my upper left part of my back between where the back of the shoulder and neck meet. It also feels kind of spongy when I push down on the muscle or skin near or on the area at times. I don t know how to describe the feeling. Its like when you push down on those green blocks that hold fake plants except it doesn t hold its shape like they do obviously.  <response>: This could be a subjective feeling, of sponginess. I cant take it into consideration till u do not get it analyzed or examined it from someone else. This type of pain that youre mentioning is usually either due to scapulocostal syn Chat Doctor. For this u need to get an MRI of the C-spine. Till then u can try a combination of thiocolchicosidediclofenac sodium twicetrice daily, ointment flurbiprofen to be applied locally twice a day, hot fomentation to be done in the area that is painful.
