What Does Severe Pain In The Upper Back Indicate?

Dear Doctor--Writing on behalf of my Mom. She is 81 years old and right now she is experiencing excruciating pain in her upper back/torso. Additionally, this pain has caused her to develop a large red rash on her back that burns but does not itch. What could this possibly be?

Hello,

Common causes of pain in the upper back are:-
1) Injury or trauma
2) Improper posture
3) Pulled muscle or sprain
4) Spondylosis
5) Herniated disc
6) Arthritis
7) Referred pain due to cardiac issues and many more.

You can give tablet Aceclofenac. Apply Diclofenac gel or Volini spray. Do physiotherapy as advised. Take a rest. You can do x-ray back after consultation. I will suggest you review here with detailed history or consult with the orthopedician with reports.


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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
