Re: Hi, still got pain in upper back
Hi Nikki, cant give you the magic answer for this but its all very familiar. I have constant pain in my neck,upper back and my ribcage. This can be very distressing I know and very difficult to pin down to anything. I work in IT so spend very long days hunched over a keyboard, I am also looking at my current mattress because the pain is there as soon as I awake. My GP has sent me for physiotherapy and has given me anti acid tablets as he thought it could be gastric. I think its very likely as I have suffered from IBS for many years. I am working hard to reduce the stress and improve the diet/exercise regime and I think its just starting to help. I am particularily sensitive to chest pain as I suffered a heart attack last year but trust me it was nothing like these sorts of pains, especially if as you say you can feel painful areas, Itook some persuading they were just muscle pains but Ive had the problem for months and Im still here. Does the stress/anxiety thing ring a bell as all my issues seem to relate to them in some form or other, everything Ive learned says reduce you stress and all else falls into place. Best of luck with it - Im sure things will improve
