Upper Back Pain: Causes, Relief & When to See a Doctor

Question
Whenever I follow through, I feel this pain / popping feeling in my upper left back. I can also feel it if I'm sitting and raise my left shoulder up. I'm pretty sure I strained it or something, but I wanted to make sure what happened... I'm putting some of that anti inflammatory stuff on (tapes or something) and I hope that helps.

Answer
Jeff,

My advice to you is to go see someone in the medical field that can diagnose your issue. You certainly don't want to make matters worse by continuing to play golf. Hopefully it's something minor, but get it checked out as soon as you can.

Best of luck,
