What Causes Soreness And Stiffness On The Back?

I’ve had random soreness and stiffness in my middle back near my spine for 5 days now. Have not had any physical activity to cause it? Seems random and unusual. I’ve never experienced pain in this area before. I’m a 26 year old female, thin and healthy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The soreness and stiffness in your middle back near your spine for 5 days now without any recent physical activity could be due to muscular skeletal issues like bad positioning or lack of physical activity. Should run an x-ray of the spinal cord to evaluate the changes there. Sometimes, uro-genital problems like infection can also cause the same soreness, so, I'd advise to run urine analysis and vaginal swab testing together with abdominal ultrasound to rule them out.

For the moment, I'd suggest to:
- Apply analgesic cream locally
- Take oral analgesics
- Run some exercises for your spinal muscles

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
