“Why am I having back pain?”
I’ve been having upper right back pain right under my shoulder blade every time I move a certain way or take a deep breath, and it’s been lasting since around December. I don’t think it was from an injury, it was a more gradual pain. I also don’t have the best posture, and when I tried the stretches for back pain, it hurt too bad to do them. It is a mix of sharp and stabbing pain depending on how hard I move. It has gotten worse since it had started but is staying pretty constant. I don’t feel it every second of the day, it just happens when my body turns to grab something, etc. Do you think you know what could be causing this pain?

If you slouch a lot and haven't had any trauma you could be having a very tight Lat muscle issue which could be combined with a rib out of place.
This sounds like a rib mislaingment. Stretching will make them worse, the rib muscles are also secondary breathing muscles. This is something that is treated very easily and quickly with a chiropractor.
You most likely need an adjustment.
Good afternoon.The problem you are experiencing sounds like you may have either a rib that shifted causing a rib dysfunction or could be a muscle entrapping the nerve in the shoulder blade region. I would seek the care of a chiropractor to help address the issue as you have had it this long and it has not alleviated itself 100 %.
This could be a rib-head issue. If so, after an exam, it can be a quick, easy fix. Call the office for further details. 717-628-6900.
