    PAIN IN UPPER BACK

    Hi

    Does anyone ever get pain in their upper back? Most people seem to suffer in the bottom of their backs but mine is nearly always the upper part. Sometimes it goes to the front. I fell like iv been kicked really hard all over.

    I know when i get it i panic so i probably do make it worse. What worries me is when it goes round to my chest. I convince myself im gonna have a heart attack.

    Anyone else suffer with this?

    love mandie x

    Mandy, I am so glad you said that - I have been getting a pain on the left side at the back of my shoulder, radiating toward the upper left of my chest at the front and today its going down my left arm. I am only 30, dont smoke, but GP said cholestorol was a bit high, although my bloods were ok. I am also afraid its the heart - I get lightheaded with it, but that might just be the panic and fear of it

    Hi

    Im not glad both of you have the same, but its good to no im not alone with this.

    I have it now, its the kind of pain you get when your bent over for a long time and then you try and straighten up if that makes sense. Iv just been for a long soak in the bath and never had the pain whilst in the bath. Maybe the heat helps the pain in which case its muscular. Im trying to make myself feel better by saying this, otherwise i think its to do with my heart.

    I get this a lot, my physio has reassured me that it is due to tension in my upper body brought on my stress and also poor posture. I have recently started pilates and this is helping sorting my back, shoulders and neck out.

    Hi Mandie


    I sometimes get the same as you, its on my left side just in line with the shoulder blade. But it doesn't happen all of the time though.

    Hi, I have the same thing happen to me It really scares me. I have had my heart checked they say all is fine. The pain starts in my upper back then radiates to chest, it really hurts and im scared im having a heart attack, as the pain fits the description.

    I would like to keep intouch with somebody suffering the same, then if we discover what it is we could both be treated.
