What Causes Small, Sharp And Persistent Pain In Back?

I have had a small, sharp and persistant pain in my back, (underneath my clacivle?) mid thoracic fot at least 5 months. It never goes away, it gets worse as they day progresses and its also worse when I breath in. Its relieved by antiinflammatories. I am female 36 and healthy otherwise. No shortness of breath related to pain. Should I be worried? If it nothing, why doesnt it go away?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some degenerative changes in your cervical and thoracic spines giving this problem.
due to pinched nerve pressure you get this pain.
Go for x-ray cervical and thoracic spines.
After report go for treatment accordingly after consulting your orthopedic surgeon.
Take some calcium and multivitamin supplements.
Physiotherapy and short way diathermy will give you relief.
Ok and take care.
