My back started to hurt about 3 weeks ago. Pain is located between scapulas, around my backbone. Pain is not consistent, I can feel it when I lower my shoulders down. It feels like something is pressing my backbone from sides. I also experienced some left chest pain about three weeks ago, it lasted about 2-3 weeks (I relate it with smoking).I tried some not prescription ointments for my back, but it doesnt seem to help.What could be the cause of that back pain?
Dear patient Pain between scapula may be due to 1. Trapeziums 2. Dorsal spine origin. Have you suffered trauma? If not then I would advise X-ray of dorsal umber spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities.  If its normal then start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days. Apply diclofenac gel for local effect. If report shows abnormalities take a visit to orthopedic surgeon.
