What Do Pain And Stiffness In The Upper Back Indicate?
Hi yesterday I was weight lifting and I was pushing the weight on my last rep and heard and felt a big pop in my middle upper back.. woke up today and have severe stiffness and the odd sharp pain in the middle upper back in between shoulder blades. And I also feel it in my chest. Should I be concerned about this? Or take a few days to rest with it

Hello,
It can be due to spinal conditions. You need to get an MRI spine to rule out conditions associated; take rest for some time and it will be subsided.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
