I've had upper back pain on and off for years. Always gets worse when I have a bad panic attack/anxiety phase.
I have it so bad at the moment. Ever since my stepdad died a few months ago, I've been getting this pain almost every month for about a week or so at a time. It feels right in the middle of my upper spine/in between shoulder blades. It doesn't hurt at all to breath or cough. Don't usually feel it while walking either. It hurts to lie down on my back, when I move my neck certain ways, when I move my shoulders certain ways, hurts a bit to touch as well etc. Trying to sleep is the absolute worst since it hurts in almost any position unless I lie on my back on a certain way. If I move my neck the opposite way while lying on my back, it's agony. Can be sore to sit down when my back leans against a chair. It's a sharp and deep pain and almost like an electric shock kind of pain. Only lasts for a few seconds. If I bend my neck back or down whether I'm lying down or standing, it hurts and I can feel such a strong "about to rip or tear" feeling down my spine area.
I've tried painkillers and they haven't really helped much. Deep freeze gel helps but it doesn't last too long. Have any of you had this pain before?
