I've had severe back problems for the past
two years and I was wondering if someone
could give me some advice. Basicly all
the pain is located in the upper back
around the shoulder blades and the top of
my shoulders. It usually goes out when I
get nervous or if I tighten up my back.
When it does go out it gets worse and
worse until one of shoulders feel higher
than then other. Other symptoms include
hot flashes and loss of strength. I've
gone to like three chriopractors and seen
my doctor far too many times no one seems
help. If anyone knows what this is could
you plse give me some advice on what could
help.

Hello Chladely,
Welcome to the forum.
Sorry to read about your pain.
Could you explain what you mean by "It
usually goes out when I get nervous or if
I tighten up my back."? Thanks
I would suggest that you seek the advice
of an orthopedic doctor/surgeon. Make an
appointment to see the very best one that
you can find in your area. In fact make
an appointment with two orthopedic doctors
as 2nd opinions are always a good idea.
Perhaps Zak hun has some thoughts on your
situation.

As others have suggested, I recommend you
make an appointment with a neurologist
who can better take a detailed history and
do an exam. it seems that you possibly
have been suffering from neck problem.
Diagnosis which requires meticulous
history-taking and examination technique
so unfortunately, I am unable to offer you
any definitive answers on this forum.
Best of luck.
