UPPER BACK PAIN AT NIGHT
by tomtucker, Feb 22, 2008 06:48PM
2 WEEKS AGO, STARTED WITH PAIN UNDER MY RIGHT BREAST WHICH WENT AROUND THE BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK ABOUT A 5 INCH WIDE SPAN. THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK TOOK ASPIRIN. HAD HEART TEST 4 MONTHS AGO. HAD BREAST EXAM DURING PHYSICAL 4 MONTHS AGO, SO IT IS NEITHER OF THOSE. THE LAST 2 WEEKS WHEN I LAY DOWN NOW ON THE COUCH, CAN'T SLEEP IN THE BED, THE PAIN STARTS, NOW IT COVERS THE FULL UPPER BACK BETWEEN THE SHOLDER BLADES. IT GETS SEVERE, ALMOST A DEEP BURNING FEELING, BY MORNING SHORT OF BREATH, DUE TO THE FEELING SOMETHING HAS ENGULFED MY CHEST WALL. ONCE I GET UP THE PAIN DISAPATES WITHIN 30 MIN. LAST 2 DAYS FINGERS & LIP GOES NUMB. I HAVE HAD C4 SURGERY 7 YEARS AGO SO I KNOW WHAT SPINAL PAIN FEELS LIKE, IT IN NO WAY FEELS LIKE THAT. BUT TODAY THE MIDDLE OF MY SPINE JUST HURTS WHEN I BEND OVER. I DREAD NIGHTFALL.
