I have upper back pain that started two days ago out of nowhere. its a constant mild aching pain however, when i eat food when i swallow the pain gets really intense as it passes down. The larger the mouthful the more it hurts. i have resorted to swallowing ridiculously small pieces just to even manage the pain. Esophagus nor stomach hurt, its just the upper back pain.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. The pains that you have described are likely to be due to muscular spasm. Taking mild painkillers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful. You can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query.
