I have pain in the middle of my back, I also feel very winded. I also can t get comfortable in any position sit/stand/lie nothing is comfortable. The pain has came on since stretching to close a gate this morning, around 14 hours ago. I am 19 and have had a l5 fracture 4 years ago, but doesn t feel like that pain. What do you suggest?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have pain in mid-back caused by stretching . Well there can be many reasons possible for lower back pain muscle or ligament strain , repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement may strain back muscles and spinal ligaments , trigges points of trapezius muscle ,bulging or ruptured disks or skeletal irregularities or spine curves abnormally. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon . Doctor may order X-ra , MRI ,CT scan , blood test bone scan and electromyography . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , narcotics , anti depressants and steroid injection . For now do light back muscle stretching exercises for trapezius muscle and start physical therapy of lower back .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,

thanks for asking.
to be on safer side and to rule out trauma and severe muscle injury, I would suggest to show yourself to a local orthopedician soon. Although higher chances are that all would turn out minor Sprain and nothing serious.
meanwhile tab voveron can be taken thrice a day for next three days.
