What Causes Itching On The Back Upon Laughing?

I was laughing pretty hard earlier today and I feel like I messed my back up. I got this itchy sensation in the middle of my back when I stopped laughing. And between 3-5 minutes later I get a strong pain in my mid-upper back when I breathe In half capacity. Certain movements or sleeping positions are nearly impossible because I can’t bare the pain. Idk if it is a pulled muscle or something else. And I also get this weird thing when I’m about to sneeze it stops out of no where like I can’t sneeze? I need answers, Thank you.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Based on what you have mentioned, it is possible that you pulled a muscle in your back.

This can be treated with rest, a warm compress to the area to relax the muscle, anti inflammatory pain killers and possibly a muscle relaxant as well.

The warm compress can be applied 2 to 3 times a day for 10 to 15 mins.

I hope this helps
