Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Back Pain

Yesterday afternoon I started with upper back aching. I expected it to subside. I didn't get much sleep last night due to the fact that I cannot find a position that brings relief. I have never had a back injury. Even today it is pretty uncomfortable and there doesn't seem to be any position that makes it better. Any suggestions?

I understand your concern.
Back pain can be due to -

- Bone pain- trauma/ boney weakness ( calcium / vitamin deficiency/ trauma/ degenerative changes in ribs, vertebrae, discs.)
- Chest infection causing cough, bronchitis, fever,
* You should try with pain killer medicines available on counter after food/ hot pack/ muscle relaxant ointment... If there is no relief within couple of days consult your family doctor. He will examine you / get investigated & offer you specific treatment or refer you to expert for special advise.
Thanks.
