Well I'm going 2 months on now with this middle upper back pain. It's mostly postional if I'm leaning or twisting to the left I get a deep stabbing ache across the back of my ribs. And if I stretch or try to squeeze my shoulder blades together I get the pain also. If I'm sitting still or lying down especially on my right side I feel fine. I guess I'm freaking out because it's been going on for 2 months now and am scared its something Sinister causing it . Because if it was sore muscles or a torn ligament wouldn't it get better by now?

When I had costochondritis my upper back pain last forever! The more I stressed about it, the worse it was. It is probably postural and if it’s mainly positional that seems reassuring. Feel better!

[Adam1987]

It sounds postural. I sit at a desk all day and have neck and back problems. Not sure what you do for a living? Even using phone too much can cause neck ane upper back issues.

Well if it only happens when you move in certain positions I doubt it's something sinister. Usually that is the symptom of some kind of musculoskeletal disorder.

This is always a very good measure of pain

If you sit down 12 hours a day, it will last forever.

You need to see an osteopath and get yourself out of the seat every hour or so and do some stretches.
