Upper Back Pain

For few days now, my damn back had been killing me. And it ain't even the lower back where you typically place patches. It's my upper back on my right rib cage. For some weird reasons I thought it was some sort of a Liver Cancer. And I hope it isn't. I've been trying to avoid meat and had been drinking lots of water lately. Just incase. I later find out that it's the way I had been sitting down in-front of the computer. The pain even got worsen when I sat on this wooden chair at the backyard when I was sorting the CDs and scraps. Scraps I had to recycle to the Junk Yard. Speaking of the Junk Yard, the place I went to today was so damn shady and the service sucks. All yelling and shit when I asked if they got my scraps calculated properly. He called my name and then went to some white dude. So I said I'm right here and then the dude looks mad for some reason. I figured he had some issues so I just let it slide. It was my first time going in there too. And as soon as the dude that works at the front gate asked if my stereo works with a laughing smile on his face, I knew then that it's gonna be a shady day. There was little parking to get to the warehouse, big trucks and forklift carts are driving all over the place. I felt like the chicken trying to cross the road from some Atari Game, just to deliver my electronic scraps from my truck to the warehouse. And the employees looks so damn tense. Nothin' but pissed faces, specially the Forklifters. I probably ain't gonna recycle my scraps there again. I'll just dumped them at the Dumped Yards. The only thing is, you pay because they are toxins and really bad for the environment. If we can fix them pissed off faces at the Junk Yard perhaps the Environment will be a better place to breath on. Im sure there are other folks that probably tried to disposed their recyclable electronics at the same place but were too intimidated. And later gave up to help clean the environment. They do have better deals on Plastic Bottles and Soda Cans than the place I usually go to. And my family are big consumers on Bottled Waters and Sodas, so I have to go back to recycle Plastic Bottles and Soda Cans to the same place. I just have to keep my distance away from the Forklifts and the Piss Head that works at the front office where the Electronics, Coppers, and Metals Department at.


All About Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain (thoracic spine)

Although upper back pain is not a very common spinal disorder, it can cause significant discomfort and pain when it does occur. The most common causes of upper back pain are muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and joint dysfunction.

There can be an injury to a disc in the upper back (such as a herniated disc or degenerated disc) that causes upper back pain, but such injuries are very rare.

It is important to note that the thoracic spine (also called upper back, middle back, or mid-back) is very different in form and function than the cervical spine (neck) or the lumbar spine (lower back). While the neck and lower back are designed to provide us with mobility, the thoracic spine is designed to be very strong and stable to allow us to stand upright and to protect the vital internal organs in the chest. Because this section of the spinal column has a great deal of stability and only limited movement, there is generally little risk of injury or degeneration over time in the upper back.
