Suggest Treatment For Upper Back Pain And Pain Below The Ribcage

Last nite I felt a slight ache in the right side of my upper back; right below the ribcage to about 3 inches down. Today I woke up to it spasming throughout the day whenever I move a certain way; enough to make me gasp and tense up. I can palpate it and feel some pain but not severe- only when I move.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is the typical symptoms of muscular spasm, in my opinion it can be well managed with Tab Chlorzoxazone 40 mg and Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, try to maintain the good posture while sleep, if the symptoms persist then x-ray of chest is must with EKG hope this information helps.
