Hi, I am having a sharp pain in my upper back. I have had the pain for about a week and I never had the pain before. Sometimes it feels like it goes down my side and into my abdomen on the right. I guess I am asking if this is a gas bubble? muscle strain or could it be an appendix thing?
Upper back pain is most of the time is a musculoskeletal pain from muscles spasm or sprain. This is obliviously not a gas bubble or appendicitis. I see many of the adults come to my clinic with such acute back pain after some vigorous activities n advice them avoiding vigorous activities and some bed rest with symptomatic treatment with painkillers n muscle relaxants for one or two weeks. If that does not help I advise X-rays and an MRI accordingly. I hope it helps u. Wish u a healthy life
