I have been suffering from this for a few years now and have been to the GP several times about it - she makes me move my arms and back etc and says there is nothing seriously wrong - but it REALLY hurts.
It is in the mid/upper part of my back slightly to the right of my spine and it throbs or stabs. It doesn't go away until I have gone to sleep (overnight) and is really painful - then for a few days I have no problem at all (when I'm not working). It seems linked with going to work (only work part time now - it was every day when I was full time) or when I do a lot of housework all at once. I know being very unfit doesn't help.
It can also be triggered by sitting at a desk (if I lean over to read/write).
I think it could be posture-related - but what can I do about that at my age? (60).
The doctor suggested I go to physio and am still waiting to go - but I went earlier in the year and only had two appointments before he discharged me, and it's still the same now as it was then.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Owwww - it's stabbing at me now - grr.
