Hi, I woke up this morning and I had this terrible pain on my upper back. It felt like I ve been punchef in the back. The pain intesifies when I take deep breathes. I went for an x-ray at an Urgent Care and was told that it has to be muscular. I started coughing also. A dry cough
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you have pain in the upper back this could be related to inter scapular muscle spasm or trapeziums. I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy as by therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain can be reduced. Most cases in my clinical practice responds well to physical therapy and exercises. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
