Upper back pain when stretching Posted: 01-01-08 08:48am
I've been having upper back pain the last
few months. During the day if I flex or
stretch a certain way then my upper back
right in the middle begins to hurt alot.
Sometimes I even feel the pain in my
chest. The pain has gotten progressively
worse. At first I only felt it right when
I woke up and then started to be felt
during the day until the past few days its
been killing. It always hurts in the
morning no matter what but during the day
I usually have to move a certain way for
it too hurt. Btw I am 15, almost 16.

Hello 15 going on 16,
WELCOME to this forum!!!
Sorry to read about your back pain. It is
always frustrating trying to figure out
what caused or is causing the back pain.
Most of us have been there.
Okay, where do you go from here? It has
now been seveal months and the pain isn't
getting less, it is getting worse. Seems
like the next step is to see a doctor, and
in my view a doctor who specializes in
spine problems, such as a neurologist or
spine surgeon. Do a little reserch and
try to find the best doctor you can.
Do stay in touch and let us know how
things are going for you.
Oh yes, one last thought - Does your
mattress sag in the middle? And if I may
ask, how old is your mattress?
