Should i be concerned about the sharp pain located in middle of my back?
Patient: Hi Dr. Grief... I have been having frequent episodes of sharp pain located in the middle of my back.  This happens when I straighten up and sometimes when I inhale.  I don't really relate the pain to the inhaling... It just so happens that I inhale after trying to straighten my back.  This happens when I'm sitting down or standing up... but more so when I'm standing.  Should I be concerned? Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI can understand your problem, this may be a muscular pain initially I would advise you to manage it with the muscle relaxant and the drug of choice for this are "chlorzoxazone with Acetaminophen" you can even try topical gel for this and "Diclofenac" will give good results I sure this will come around with this and it fails to respond then it has to be investigated, hope this will help you have nice day.
