Help with upper back pain?

Question

For over a month my upper back has been hurting really bad and it hurts all the time. I told my parents and they say lift some weights to make my back stonger but the pain has not gone away. I have not had an injury on my back at all . please help.

Answer 1

I had the same problem for years! It would come and go. All my doctors told me it was a strain muscle and that lifting weights would strengthen my back would help but they never did and some times made it worst. When I got an X-ray nothing showed up but the pain was still there. So I went to a chiropractor and got an upright MRI which showed the I had slight upper spinal right curvage. X-rays dont pick it up because you are lying down. When you lay down your spine straigtens. I hope this helps and you dont have to suffer for years like I did because upper back pain is rare compared to lower back pain.  

Answer 2

your aggravating the back. see a chiropractor.and are you lifting the weights properly? you better be careful...try yoga instead.
