How To Treat Back Pain?

Hello and thank you for your time. I ve been having some minor to severe back pains for a while now, from what I believe originally stemmed from a pinched nerve in my upper neck. A few weeks later, however, my once isolated back pain has spread to more or less my entire upper body. I ve had multiple chiropractic visits and massages in this time, but my condition has only worsened. The latest development seems to be a seizing up of the chest that s made it difficult for me to breathe and swallow. I can very clearly feel it as food goes down my throat, and breathing has been labored throughout the day. There is no comfortable standing, sitting, or lying position, and I am often kept awake at night by my inability to find comfort. To ease the pain I have taken aspirin and ibuprofin, sometimes at the same time. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thank you again for your time.
