Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my name is Ashley. I have had really bad upper back pain for 2 weeks now. When I pull my arms forward or move my head the pain is worse. It feels sore all the time and when I do move my arms it is like a stabbing pain from shoulder blade to shoulder blade and up to my neck I also have pain I’m my shoulders. I have no idea what this is and I am very worried that it could be something very serious. I do have health anxiety so my first thought of course is that it could be related to my heart.I have had several EKGS in the last 6 months all fine and ECHO at the end of 2012. Could this be my heart or what could this be? I have had no injury that I know of.
