What Causes Upper Backache On The Left Side?

Good afternoon, I m 28 (F) and I ve been having a pain on my back -left side above my shoulder blade and close to my cervical vertebrae for about 2 months now. The pain is always constant, the pain changes I could describe it as a burning sensation, sometimes little shocks, and other times feels like someone is pushing pressure with a thumb. Some days the pain is a little more other days . On the days when the pain is more intense raising my left arm certain ways feels very uncomfortable. I do have a doctor appointment soon, but was hoping to receive a few opinions before my visit.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your problem can be most likely due to the repetitive stress injury caused by the wrong posture.

Avoid high pillows and use an orthopedic pillow. Also, avoid leaning down your head for looking into mobile or screen.

Taking NSAIDs and muscle relaxants for short term will be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
