Upper back pain

[grgtan]

Hello, I have developed a subtle upper back pain that is on the right hand side below the shoulder blades (6-8"). It is more noticeable when I lie down flat or have my back against a stiff or hard surface. It feels like I'm laying on a golfball or hardball. It doesn't appear to be related to respiratory function, although I have a dry cough after a recent cold. I am concerned it might be a growth, tumor or signs of problems w/ my pancreas. I has gotten worse over the last week or so. It doesn't hurt when I stand up or sit when my back isn't agaist a hard surface such as the back of a chair or sofa. Not running a fever from what  I can tell. Any thoughts about this?

HI, Not sure what has happened to my back, but I probably have done too much, working in my garden, lifting when I should have not. I am afraid I have done something to my back as I did in 2003 and 2004 that caused me to have surgeries then, Thank You so very much  for your concern....GG   Have a Blessed Day
