What Does Pain In The Upper Back Indicate?

Greetings. I am experiencing pain in my upper back. Specifically the shoulder blade near my spine. I also have a numbness or tingly sensation in my left pinky and left ring finger. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 14. I am now 48. Is the scoliosis causing this pain and numbness?

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

Scoliosis can cause spinal problems like disc prolapse osteochondrosis etcetera. If you send an X-ray of the spine and a picture of your back then I can comment more about the problem.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
