Dear patient
acute onset of upper back pain may be due to muscular spasm. please do hot water fomenting with water back at local site. meanwhile start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day. also apply diclofenac gel locally. if not relieved in 2 days please visit orthopedic surgeon nearby you. thanks.
