Suggest Treatment For Upper Back Pain
I have daily upper/mid back pain which mainly occurs after standing for 3 or 4 hrs or doing household activities such as vacuuming. If I can sleep for half hour or so it goes away. Stress also seems to bring it on. Physio did not help at all. What do you suggest? Thank you YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Your symptoms suggest pain is due to increased exertion. I advice you to avoid standing for prolonged periods ,take rest in between your work.Take multivitamin supplements. If the symptoms doesn't subside then get X-ray to rule out any disc pathology for pain.
Thank you,
Take care
